Subject: What would it be like if the mods were invisible?

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

What if mods were unknown. They appeared exactly like regular users. Same color text, same avatars, same title. The only thing would be they have the moderator tool bar but nobody would know. The mods would be more ninja-like. What would this change? Less sucking up? More spam?

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

I discussed this not long ago with Ash I think. He called me an idiot.

I would love to be that though - stealthy. But word would get out pretty fast I think. That and we are supposed to be a low level PR / help desk employee for the forums.

Well if you didn't tell a single person I don't think word would get out..

But in truth how would people know?

They could easily pass accusations off as rumors. No one would know.

Except the fact that it would look strange. A group of new users. Who happen to be extremely witty. And power hungry. And when you argue with them for some reason you are bant!

(That power-hungry comment was a joke. Please spare my fragile soul. COL(chuckle out loud)

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Perhaps more wet noodle treatment and additional locks on his chain would fix this...

It's important sometimes that if we ban someone for what someone would see as a superficial reason, that they contact us about it. If we're invisible, then... well.

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

What if we already have them and the the mods we know are just a front?

No-one is forcing them to post in every thread they lock. In fact, they hardly ever do.
But there's no point blacklisting someone if they had no idea what they did wrong.

How do you know that some moderators aren't posing as normal forum users already?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I think there is a cover up and that we already have mods who look like normal members.


Forum cops!

Sorry i just had to say it.

Read about the Forgotten Spartan I Program
Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

Like Pezza said, the Moderators have to be able to be contacted to be truly effective.

Not to mention that it says "Blacklisted by:" when you get blacklisted, the secretive guys would have no cover.

I'm not actually a mod. I'm just the PR guy for a different and very secret moderator.

I vote that Gzalzi should be an invisible Mod.

Ya got that right!

He'll either tell, or you will forget about your stealth and yell "STOP FLAMING OR I'LL BLACKLIST YOUR ASSES!!"
