Is it time to end moderator anonymity?


I think it's time to hold them accountable. Imagine if police didn't reveal their names, wore masks, and made up new laws as they went along.

Yeah because the ones who make bull moderations could be held accountable with proof then. Maybe they'd think second before modding that slightly controversial post then.

No. Stop bitching about it. It's there for a reason.

Although some mods need to relinquish their position.

Actually police in Chicago do not reveal their names or show you ID. If they are uniformed, they wear a badge.

I know someone who changed cars on the mass transit because of smoking and 2 plainclothes cops strong armed him and wrote a ticket. They refused to show ID. So annoying that Chicago cops will not give you their names or even prove that they are cops.

Why do people care about this so much?
Because they can't follow basic rules, feel wronged by it and want to know who to target for doxxing.

Yes. Definitely. No reason for the anonymity. It'd actually help the mods be more fairer knowing their names will be outed.

I got modded for double posting. The posts were actualy 24hrs apart. The mod mistakenly believed the posts were within seconds of each other, and when I made a topic about it, they still didn't bother fixing it. "Follow the rules and you won't get modded" is a proven lie.

any decent authority system has accountability, and people that respect the system
older forums typically had a dedicated board where they would make a topic for each moderation, show the post in question (unless it was something like a gore pic or illegal), provide their justification for their decision and allow users to discuss it. a completely transparent system, you knew who did what, and it was completely fair and nobody felt like injustice was served

on this website you get slapped down for daring to question the mods

That would require the userbase to stop being manchildren, though. It's always the same people complaining, so I don't see that happening.

yeah and i bet those mods didn't last long

also, i don't know other forums. i know this one and how people react to being moderated when the vast majority of the time it was a "fair, next". so i definitely don't trust users here to respond appropriately when they know which mod they can dox.

He probably did shit moderations like the rest of them. Theres no reason to give a mod here the benefit of the doubt unless theyve demonstrated they are reasonable

You can't reason with someone whom you already assume the worst from. Goes both ways, my guy.

Thats why good moderation systems have transparency and a method to discuss. The current system does not work. Its trash that you get punished for appealing, and then one mod votes in this mysterious poll to uphold it.

Reminder: the mod staff is picked from that same pool of dangerously unstable manchildren. So lets not pretend theyre somehow better than the people theyre modding.

I'm not saying they're better. A thug attacking a thug in prison is still a crime.
