Familiarity with the mod team?

Much prefer to be open,

I dont know who does what exactly but i have always dealt with Maccy so i respect him and view him as one of the heads of the forum i could go to if i needed to talk to someone or whatever.
 
I'm not sure the average member really knows who the mods are or has any dealing with them.

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. There's other words for normal members and it's totally not obvious what is a moderator rank and what's just a person who posts too much.

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. I'm aware of some mods because their names are bold (but not all of them?), and they do stuff, but I can't even name 5 from memory.

Regarding knowing who dealt with it, without that how I would I know which mods moderate with their political bias? Joking but not really. Perhaps you might want to treat SC as a special case. Perhaps you shouldn't automatically give people SC/MM when they hit the requirement, but let them opt-in instead, I chose to opt-out and the forum is much better that way (I'm a "New posts" person).

I understand that people knowing who you are is a risk, occasionally you'll get someone who gets salty and threatens you. Fair enough if you want to protect yourselves from that. Obviously you'd still need someone to know who did what in case there's a rogue agent.

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

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

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

I thought this thread was going to be about people trying to get to pally with the team :D I’ve always preferred the way it’s done here, leads to a sense of transparency. The only time I had anyone cross the line here at OcUK wasn‘t when I was on the mod team, just when I was a member.

Why would I want to hang out with weirdos from the internet, even more so administrators of a forum!?

I don't know any of the moderators, nor do I want to. I wish they were more hidden in fact.
 
I dunno is it a problem? I don't visit many other forums mainly because there aren't many left these days but everywhere I do go (discord, reddit) its open who is a moderator and no-one has an issue with it. The only one I can think of is Digital Spy where its completely anonymous and its kind of strange if I'm honest I guess the reason is they don't want to be doxxed or something? Its a large and impersonal site so... maybe I'm clutching at straws but personally I find it odd. Not that I've been there in a long time mind.
