Familiarity with the mod team?

[Feek]

I'm a member of a few other forums, a couple of them are much larger than OcUK and the rest are far smaller.

It occurred to me the other day that I have no idea who any of the moderators and administrators are on the other forums. I looked on a couple to see if I could find out who they were but it really wasn't obvious. I find this a bit odd and wonder why they do that. I was approached a few months ago to be a moderator on one of the larger ones but that approach was from a generic account, not an actual user account. I use the report function a fair bit there and the responses to reports (whether accepted or not) are always a standard reply with no indication who's dealt with it.

We're very open here about who's an Underboss, Don or Commisario. The entire team is listed in the forum rules and we don't hide. It's just how we've always done it.

What do you think, is it better to be open the way we are or to keep that sort of thing quiet like a lot of other forums?

It was better in the past back when we had London meets. I remember meeting Huddy, Maccy, Thundycat, Freefaller and Burnsy. Can't remember if there were others.
EDIT: semi-pro-waster?

There's nothing stopping you organising one

I'd love to but I don't live there anymore. Probably wouldn't get a pass either.

Organise one in Bath?

I didn't know there was a list of mods in the rules, but seeing as I can never find the rules it doesn't matter

At the bottom of every single page, there's a link that says 'Terms and rules' which takes you here.

I don't know what the words "Underboss", "Don", and "Commisario" correspond to. Or if that's a complete list of types of moderator. I have a feeling these correspond to something like Admin, Staff, Moderator but not sure if that's right or which is which - it would be better to write what they actually are.

This is all explained in the Board Usage section of the rules

I'm aware of some mods because their names are bold (but not all of them?)

Admins and Dons are in bold, Underbosses aren't.

I don't know any of the moderators, nor do I want to. I wish they were more hidden in fact.

Hahahahahahahaha *breathe* hahahahahahah

I don't see the problem, my ICQ number is 1776683

Such a strange forum. Very odd software, very strange layout, no idea who runs it, the whole thing is just a bit weird.
