Are the Mods Secret for a Reason?

[OldLady]

Once in awhile, over on the right below active topics, it shows mods that are online. I know Will is on, or was a few minutes ago, but no mods are showing. Is it secret for a reason? Or is there another way to see who is working without PM-ing the whole list?

It's pretty annoying from this end, but there might be a reason for it.

Just asking. I don't need to talk to anyone.

You should know by now that there is little to NO moderation in USMB

They are like a virus, we can't see them, but they can strike you at any moment!

No, it's secret for no reason at all just to bug you. They draw straws to see who has to be public on the forum to field stupid, annoying, accusatory, whiny, and pointless questions from the members.

Hey, Mike. I've got some questions about installing a green screen so I can neutralize my background on Zoom. You willing?

Actually, that's not true. They're around--you must not be breaking the rules enough, Dr. Love.

If the mods did not apply their control in secret, they might end up being held accountable for their actions because everybody could then see who they censor heavily and who they don't.

When the aim is to implement power without having any responsibility for how it is wielded, transparency of action would run counter to the overall plan.
