| | Why is nothing being done about Alts?
according to the forum rules
"User Names
Use of multiple user names or accounts is not allowed."
yet we have obvious alts like CodPeace and Full Circle back again. Not only are they back but a certain mod thanks their posts.
How come mods?

How come mods? | | | | | This is a question that has been asked more than once. Not with these dupes, maybe, but with others. The answer, unhelpfully, is that there isn't enough evidence, or they haven't done anything wrong etc etc. It's wrapped up in respecting opinions and different viewpoints etc but I don't think that's it.
I've made my opinion on the subjects you raise very clear but I've been shouted down, dismissed and accused of all sorts of meanness. So the dupes prevail, aided and abetted.

There's repeated referral in various threads to some imaginary super-heroes called "mods", but this seems to be fake news!

Interested? | | | | | Roegner, I hear you, and I think that's really a rather sad - and I believe, you, a true - reflection of what it involves (amongst other things) to be a mod on this forum.
There's been so much going wrong on this Forum recently that I don't think being a mod can be an enviable task.
I'm glad you became a mod, so thank you. Please don't leave.

Interested? | | | | | I understand it can be a thankless task, and I appreciate the majority of you volunteering your time and putting up with snark for which I am responsible for more than I should be. However your efforts are dragged down by the bias shown by some. Thanking what is (lets be generous) *almost* certainly an alt instead of staying hands off and waiting to see, or the whole PrivateRepGate furore diminish the efforts you put in.

I think moderator users should be more visible. In other forums their name is bold and red, or variants on the subject. Here I just started to realize some users were mods, after 3 years on EF...
...mods have no stars, but when avatars are 300px high who looks for other images here and there?
...mods seem to have some "Moderately Xyz" description below their name, but is it an official thing?

Just look at the description under the name, yes. AFAIk there is no rule/official thing, why should there be one?
