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.
