Evidently, the mods were once "outted" with undesirable consequences.
It is out of my hands.
“You are hitting your heads against the wall making this request.”
I understand.
That doesn't make it any less reasonable.
“Evidently, the mods were once ‘outted’ with undesirable consequences.”
I'm sure that handled improperly, it could certainly have undesirable consequences. However, although I've been here 10 1/2 years, and came here long before there were moderators, I don't remember the specific incident[s] to which you refer.
Interestingly, there are other Internet fora, including religious fora, that manage to do just fine with identified moderators. In fact, my own observation is that it makes moderating easier, as all the cards are on the table.
Here, much of the evidence that bears on moderator fairness is “under” the table, is hidden away.
It's kind of ironic that you'd tell us that we couldn't possibly know what your biases are because we don't have all the information (that's hidden away). Of course we don't have all the information - we're not permitted to see it - including who you are and who the other moderators here on this Religion Forum are.
So, you tell us that we cannot logically press our case because we don't have enough information - information hidden from us. LOL. That's a bit vaguely reminiscent of the definition of chutzpah - the fellow who murders his parents and throws himself on the mercy of the court because he's an orphan.
In any event, based on the evidence that IS available, some posters are calling into question the fairness of moderation herein. I think it's a reasonable action, a reasonable attempt to discern the truth of things.
Sometimes, doing something that appears futile, that appears to be hitting one's head against a brick wall, is worth doing, if only because it's the right thing to do.
