My #1 complaint about TOR forum moderation

Why is it that moderators on the TOR forum happily put their real name to anything and everything… except when handing out infractions?

For mine, hiding behind a “catch-all” account to do the dirty work, so to speak, isn’t a very open and transparent way of dealing with things. And isn’t being “open” and “transparent” two of the most important concepts in social media? Last time I looked, yes they were.

This method also puts us at a disadvantage of not knowing if one mod, in particular, is griefing us.

I also ponder the question, would some moderators be so hot on “the infraction button” if they had to put their real name to their handiwork? Because I reckon if they had to, they might put more thought into their decisions.

    I have had posts that were not even rude or disrespectful in any way deleted by forum mods without any kind of reprimand or notice.
