I'm a serious dude, so what?
the problem with showing which mods are online or if they're online at all, is that it leads to abuse. If people think they can flame someone or troll or spam or wtfever, and get away with it, they'll be more apt to do it. Now, we all know that they'll only be getting away with it until a strong moderator comes on and bans them, but in the downtime the forums would start sucking. Imagine that, if for only 15 minutes a handful of losers posted anything and everything that came to mind. All the good posts would be thrown down a page or two and the main page would be a wall of locks.
Most users would never abuse it. But they aren't the ones you have to be worried about.
