Do you think the mods have alternate accounts?

I often wonder if mods get a mod itchy finger and just create an alt for the sole purpose of moderating and banning - you know, like target practice.

What if one of these recent ban-dodgers were a mod's alt? Sort of like their way of fighting The Man, but within the system.

Usually we split into teams. Trolls vs Mods. The trolls all make new accounts and start ****ing on the boards, and it is up to the mod team to hunt them down. Whoever catches the most gets to ban someone at random.

*looks at moderation history* I think there's plenty of shenanigans for them to deal with before they ever get rusty at modding.

[QUOTE="cybrcatter"] New avatar? Also, your sig has one of those lovely 'bandwidth exceed' pics.cybrcatter

That's why I have a new avatar also. Don't know how my bandwidthhas succeeded but I guess no sig for the rest of the month for me. :P

Too bad. Your sig was one of the few larger jpegs that I didn't AdBlock.

Since this thread has already gone of the trail, can you tell me if my sig works now? It was showing up on my end anyway. :P

I don't think so.

Me neither.

:lol: Priceless Sir though too obvious a name!

You mean do we have accounts that we post on incognito? I can't answer for them but I have a few. Some for testing Moderations and one I did post with in this very forum as well but not to break the ToU. What kind of precedent would that set?

Do you use those alt accounts to post on SW? I remember that one gamerankings thread >_>

You'd get modded for abusive reporting. Having alt accounts is allowed, it's just using them while suspended/banned is not.

You can't report someone just for having more than one account.
