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.

SPICERACK, a thread could be easily sidetracked by a discussion about a single deletion with the poster defending the post and the Mod justifying the deletion.
Imagine if there were deletions involving multiple folk, it would not help the debate if each person questioned each and every deletion.
It might also be the case that different Mods deleted posts within a thread and if not all the Mods involved had a second name, only some deletions might be explained.

ZACS, I agree with you about not justifying deletions as it just prolongs the discussion.
If a Mod wants to issue a warning, that's fair enough but discussions about deletions are not allowed anyway.
However, if a Mod chooses to justify a deletion, that should be the end of the matter and no further discussion should take place.
