MODERATORS
If you want to hide something it implies that there is shame in it.
Edit: I didn’t finish my thought. My bad. I meant in cases like this, not in general. There are multiple exclusions to my above statement. It’s what I get for being half asleep and on the internet.
It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't also give them more weight in the algorithm. Any time you load a thread with more than a few comments, there's like 5 trolls on top with bullshit comments.
There are other reasons too.
I'm not ashamed of being moderator on a online forum but I don't want it to show next to my name when I'm not moderating.
I'm also not ashamed that my truck is a 4x4 but I still don't want the badge on my tailgate.
Fair points.
