The other is a member I just found out is a mod.
It's no big deal. I love AT and I expected more from a mod.
AT is full of awesome intelligent individuals.
What ever a mod does is a direct reflection of the entire community~!
How about as a member of Anandtech's forums what ever you do is a direct reflection of the community! That's a pretty heavy burden to bear don't you think?Originally posted by: SKipholiday

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you Derek. the forum is now finally working properly.
As for the new guidelines, I have to agree with ViRGE on this one. I don't think that having non-anonymous moderators is the best idea. The anonymous identity that was known only as AnandTech Moderator had power because of the rarity of the comments and also because it was anonymous. Making the moderators known will weaken their power in my opinion. The various members of this forum will know who the moderators are and thus, respect for the moderators will go down.
That's how I have always been.Originally posted by: AnandTech Moderator

As long as they aren't doing it in their capacity as a Moderator they should be free to expresss themselves like any other member of Anandtech.
First, I'd like to say that I'm very much in favor of knowing the Mods' names. That said, I'm confused about something. You just posted this as AnandTech Moderator, without revealing your real forum name. Are you someone Anand hired specifically to be a Mod and nothing else? Otherwise, who are you; and how are we to identify a Mod posting as AnandTech Moderator?Originally posted by: AnandTech ModeratorAs long as they aren't doing it in their capacity as a Moderator they should be free to expresss themselves like any other member of Anandtech.

I'm so use to using the Mod Account when I post in any Forum Issues thread I didn't realize that I was posting anonymouslyOriginally posted by: apoppin

thats a little redundant really ... I think we're all mature enough to realize when someone is actually moderating and when they are not. I don't see any reason to give every mod a second account with basically the same name ...Originally posted by: Ken_g6

I wonder if one account could be set up for each Mod? E.g. the above could have been posted by "AnandTech Moderator Red Dawn".

Actually when posting under that account I am suppose to sign the post with my name. The reason I didn't is because I didn't realize I was posting under the Anandtech Moderator account.Originally posted by: Ken_g6
