A cloaking device of moderator status.

This would keep the who is and who is not a moderator quiet/concealed. In the same manner in which we click on a button to report a bad post, there would be a button (perhaps the same one) to contact a moderator, even for not so much bad posts as a personal harrassment.

Moderators would not be then attacked within threads or criticized for not responding enough to certain threads. Nobody would know if they had or had not responded, they would be regular members here as far as anyone could tell. Things beyond that would still operate in the same manner-underage violators banned rapidly, trolling possibles and other problems would be discussed by moderators and then a ban would or would not be enacted-nobody would be any the wiser as to who had been part of the vote or could contact them and complain. Moderators would get to enjoy the same freedoms as all the other members-after all they are members. They would not however be subjected to having their personal mailboxes filled with rants. Those rants would go to the Moderator mailbox, which they would all have access to.

Again, this is about a cloaking device of showing a moderator status.
