Nice to see the moderator masks are off and that Burkey appears to have changed his mind on the matter. Good even-handed moderation does not need them. I was reading just now a long hand-wringing thread on MoreMiles titled: “Who Are The Moderators” which contained the quote above.

Well, “anonymous moderators” have largely stayed put over there, but seemingly few users have. Their number of listed users at 135 right now is 20% less than when the doors opened for public participation and registration a month back. And 24 of those 135 are owners/founders it would seem from reading this thread above - which lists out most of those persons. That does seem to carry a VERY important message about whether frequent flying folks enjoyed masked moderators, or indeed much moderation at all? A great social experiment that failed?
