If I ask is there any chance ;)

I am a moderator on Sudhian. The mods there have always been publicly known. There have been problems in the past with mods moderating their own threads (yours truly included), but, otherwise, I think it has worked out.

Once the initial shock and giddiness wears off here, we will wonder how things were ever the way they were before.

MotionMan

P.S. I was recently banned for one week (which actually lasted 10 days) without a warning or an explanation - which apparently is against the User Moderation rules). It was my first ban ever on any board. Now that there is this new era of openness on Anandtech, I would love to know why I was banned and why I was not unbanned after 7 days. I'll keep checking my PM box, but I am not going to hold my breath.)

Reserved for the far left. They have other catch phrases and words for those of us on the right. Here is one.

If you had read the thread, assuming you can read, you would have seen the comment from the head Admin that we won't be going there.

the system of public accountability starts now and is not retroactive. there's no need to dig up the past and start pointing fingers or questioning actions.

Unless, say, a mods identity remains anonymous.

Lots of good people moderating these threads now and it will only get better with accountability. Thank you for for you efforts in keeping us civil.

Now if we could only get a better choice of avatars.........

Public moderation works perfectly fine everywhere else. Harassment doesn't mean much, it just means those who really want to be banned will get their wish granted twice as fast. Public moderation does mean moderators have to be more careful that they are banning someone for a rule break and not a disagreement. I'm not saying that has happened in the past, because in the previous system it was impossible to know.

Does this mean I can talk to Minendo / Harvey directly about an account issue?

"12) Do not contact individual moderators. Please direct violations of these guidelines to moderator@anandtech.com, AnandTech Moderator by PM or post in Personal Forum Issues to request attention for something. Please be patient with moderation requests and inquiries. Users found in violation of this directive will be given only one warning and pointed in the right direction before further action is taken."

Taken from this thread.

So if we used to PM some of these people for matters other than forum issues, we no longer can?

That's what it says, at least.

I suggest 'in their official capacity' would clarify that one.

I can't speak for him, but I believe this in in regards to issues that you're having regarding guidelines and forum issues in general. If you already have a relationship with a moderator, you can of course keep PM'ing him/her.

ok, one more time for everyone here.

We are not going back and rehashing past vacations, bans, spankings, locked threads, trout smacks, and Aduls sexual orientation for anyone.

So the next person who asks is going to gets set up on a double blind date with the mean and the kinky mods.

Well that explains where most of his posts in P&N come from
Yeah, he's got a lot to be angry about. He's a 22 year old from Minnetonka. That's where rich people live. He lives with mommy and daddy but hates the man for keeping him down.

I am glad that kind of hypocrisy can go the wayside now.

Also, Perknose, whom I told once about a spammer or something and he was a rude biotch to me and said to go tell a mod owes me an apology.

And oldsmoboat who denied up and down to me that he was a mod. LIAR! LIAR! PANTS ON FIRE! I'm so naive. I believed it. : doh :

allisolm - I KNEW IT! You're a great person to be modding this place. I am glad to see you on the list.

I love this new mod accountability. Cheers :beer:
When that was going on, I wasn't yet an active moderator. I couldn't do anything about what was happening and I was, indeed, trying to contact the other mods. :p

/me hugs Adul HI!

I'm not even going to try to read everything I've missed here since last night. :Q

Question:

Shouldn't the mods be be held to some kind of guideline to what they can post under their personal account? I'm all for speaking one's mind but I do also believe that a mod should be setting an example for all to follow.

Maybe being a supervisor has got me into that realm of thinking..

We already hold ourselves to a higher standard. That is why we were selected as moderators to begin with. And yes, we are being held to one now, and even more so since we are no longer hidden.

By the way... Does this mean that the "Anandtech Moderator" account is dead? I'm not sure why, but going to miss that guy!

No it will still be used as it always was. But, I know what you mean, PMing Anandtech moderator was like...special.

Its nice to see that most of the mods were very active in the community. I recall a few threads where they took abuse as members and didnt nuke the offenders.

Keep up the good work!

(sucking up never hurts :)) )
