Secret Moderators
467 Answers
I would like to acknowledge that there are some accounts that have been created by our moderators, to help them control the community, without breaking their normal identity.
Having multiple AnswerBank accounts is against site rules. However, these accounts have been approved by the Editors.
These moderators will be added to this thread, and you should give them as much respect as you would give to an Editor.
If you are a moderator, and would like to have one of these accounts, please send us an email.

Zacsmaster - It looks like I started all of this last night. In the past I removed posts and had to watch as a row breaks out about who was responsible and why. I can now use my usual name to remove the posts and explain why in my secretmod name. I will also be able to warn posters to kerb their tempers and it might result in less suspensions happening.

It’s really simple, missterious.
The Ed’s have decreed that Mods will be allowed a separate user name (special Mod 1, Special Mod 2, etc) but only if they want one.
If there’s a dispute on a thread, they can use their invisibility cloak (sorry, Mod name) to ride in and immediately stop the fracas, even if they’re the ones who caused it, under their ‘real’ name.
This will, apparently, raise respect for Mods and stop a lot of aggro.
Makes perfect sense to me.

Even though many moons ago I was asked personally to be a mod via email, (I'm never about enough even now) but times have changed and I'd be spotted as a secret mod because 'sod-off-ya-nob-rot' followed by:
