This suggests you know that the OP has multiple accounts. Did you read his cmail as well?
It would really suck if you and other mods read peoples cmail, investigate their actiivty and participate in the forums, as mods and normal users.
Here it seems like you took the opportunity to shame him with some inside information. Wouldn't be surprising given the quality of discussion that goes on here.
Even though I'm rather sure that this is directed at Twenty-One, unless I'm mistaken, there are areas of the job of being a Mod that require reading certain pieces of email. As I understand it, every time I report as message as spam, that report and message gets read by a Mod. How else could it be determined that it is a legitimate report?
Now, I'm not the greatest computer person in the world, so I don't know as much about IP addresses and such, but it would seem to Me that it would be easy enough to determine if multiple screen names were coming from the same source. Something, in My opinion, that Mods might just need to know if there is an individual who is a problem. This silly stuff that crosses the forums isn't the biggest issue on the site, but there are other issues where I'm sure that kind of information comes in quite handy.
Just for the record, mods cannot read others mail. Also, reports made on the site side do not involve the moderators here. They moderate the forums, not the site. There is other staff involved on site side(well, unless one is exceptionally lucky as I am :) )
I have not read all of this thread so do not know what led up to this comment. I DO know though that the moderators never post on a thread and also moderate it, so whether or not they post as regular users is a moot point. In most cases, it is very evident when someone has multiple profiles, and answers themselves etc on threads. It is not rocket science. As to whether or not they can see ips, that is irrelevant to this thread, as are any other capabilities of the moderators. If someone has a specific problem with a particular moderator, they are welcome to file a report with me or Support and it will be investigated. The total castigation of the moderators at large lacks merit, as does any broad based generality about any group of people, small or large. One might wonder when someone calls into question the quality of discussion here, why they in fact are participating in such a negative manner, when it appears that is exactly what they are speaking ill about.
editted to add: I just saw the comment before mine. Moderators are not allowed unlimited access to any portion of the site, whether about users information or not. They do not have personal information such as outside emails etc. They are also HIGHLY screened, and have a history of involvement in the site in other areas and capacities before they ever even have the possibility of being a moderator, because it IS a thankless position where an individual DOES have to put aside their personal feelings on a daily basis to be able to be objective. Not many are able to accomplish that.
