As a community member I would always like to see (1) forum moderator in the who's online sidebar when I come in. I would also like to see the forum moderator have a user name that designated that was this persons job. Other than that I don't need to know his/her name/nick
I think this is a good idea. I believe it would help disassociate an individual's personality with his role as moderator in the eyes of the community. In this way, a moderator would appear as a bot and it's hard to argue with a bot. On a side note, I don't think anyone was insinuating a moderator as "hiding behind a username."
I'm a newbie, and the very first important XOOPSers I became familiar with were the moderators, even before knowing the names of the developers.
Moderators are seen as direct representatives of the XOOPS project and they should should operate with extreme tact because their actions can and will cause irreparable harm to the XOOPS project.
