Most forums I've frequented provide the names of the moderators. Am I missing something here? I don't see the names of STW mods anywhere.

They used to be know and open but they got some grief on a forum ride so are now anonymous except for Drac

Some use a user name to mod such as merlinman iirc but no one knows who they are. They are all volunteers though
Sorry for actually answering as i know it is not the STW way

The best way to find out is to post something that contravenes section A of subsection C paragraph 3.1 of the classified's......... and feel the wrath! 😛

They know who they are, and more importantly they know who you are, and that's all you need to know

So they're anonymous? For what purpose? Personally I think it seems a bit sly.

Depressingly, they have a very good reason for being anonymous.

Did you happen to notice the word 'moderator' next to drac's name? Should give you a reasonable idea of who they are.

Nah, he is just perma-drunk. Once he sobers up, he will probably go anonymouse.

I suppose that at least rules out any personality disorders such as megalomania on their part 🙂

I know of one for sure. Caught them editing their own posts (after an hour) to hide their embarrassment. Also heard larging it about banning a certain ex member at the bristol bike jumble.

Names, or it never happened.

...actually some fun clues to help us guess. It's a slow morning.

I thought that they were a crack moderating unit sent to prison by an IT security tribunal for a crime they didn't commit. These mods promptly escaped from a maximum security office to Singletrackworld Towers. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as moderators of fortune.

I fear a bitter lance-esque campaign so ill take the fifth I'm afraid.
He knows who he is, and may even remember a dashingly handsome chap spending far too much time looking at a lone pedal on one of the stalls near to where he was regaling his friend with heroic tales of forum moderation.

Well done you

Pleased for you all

I have only ever seen him post thread closure notices under that log on.
I assume he never posts or use another log on- I am not asking.

Either way they are not as open as Drac which was my point as jamie notes this probably makes sense

In that case, I don't think it was the exact word you meant 🙂

Viscous = thick
Viscose = a solution of cellulose xanthate

Mods are anonymous at my strong recommendation. They are volunteers and I genuinely fear for the abuse they would undoubtedly get if they were known. I'd really appreciate it if it stayed that way.

Does drac get much shit? Doesn't seem so, probably because he's a nice chap. With a pair of testicles.

Sort of like Hong Kong Phooey or Perry the Platypus?

Yeah from time to time I've had some. I'm thick skinned though comes with the job but Mark's right it's for the best people remain anonymous where they chose to go with Mark's advice. I will say out of all the forum members I've met in real life none have ever giving me abuse to my face, which is good. Thanks to those who appreciate me being an open presence on the forum.

With that the thread has reached its conclusion.
