"Regular users of the forums know who they are. I think labelling them is a bit pointless, there's always going to be grey areas on everything that's discussed, all a mod can do is close or delete a thread or comments if they go against the rules." Hmm maybe but I have been here quite a while and I only know of one mod on here | |||

"Regular users of the forums know who they are. I think labelling them is a bit pointless, there's always going to be grey areas on everything that's discussed, all a mod can do is close or delete a thread or comments if they go against the rules." Would that be the forum rules that are impossible to find if you're using the mobile site? I think mods should be identified. Not everyone uses the forums regularly. | |||

"Yes I think it's a good idea. It's standard on the other forums I use. I'm a long term but infrequent forumite, and I only know of one mod on here. " That's the point.....some will be on a short time and get to know who's who in a short time. But others do not know and may have been here quite a while....so I think it would make the site a lot clearer for all users | |||

"Personally I don't think it matters. I've been given a few yellow cards and it wouldn't make any difference if I knew who it was on duty at the time. If you need em there is a way of contacting them. If you have done wrong you have done wrong. Hold your hands up and move on. " It's not about that! You cannot avoid them as when you log off your comments are still there. It's about clarity | |||

" I think if you're being respectful, not personally naming people and not making specific accusations, you're not likely to ever need to know who they are? Is there a specific reason you need to identify them?" Yes as opening post! | |||

"I think it would be helpful if the mods had a "mod" tag on their usernames. Or, we could have the forum rules as a sticky thread at the top of the forum and the mods could be listed there. The forum rules should be easier to find from the mobile site. Furthermore, there are rules that leave room for interpretation by mods - so when a mod comments in a thread, sometimes moderating an ongoing thread/discussion - it would help that everyone posting know they are a mod. That way posters don't talk back to them as if they are regular posters (which I've seen happen on rare occasions). I know who the mods are (there are ways to tell based on posting patterns) but it should be open information instead of a question of how long you've been posting or how observant you are." Well said. | |||

"Been on here for years & know only one, people would take advice & warnings easier if yhey knew they were a genuine Mod so yes its a good idea. You get a lot acting like Mods when they are not so its hard to tell x." Yep there's one or two comments even on this thread that I wasn't sure if came from a mod lol | |||

"I think it would be useful, especially on threads where things get a bit heated. If we knew the mods were about, some people may not get so worked up, not all, I add! " Yeah but you can report comments in a thread so they're brought to mods attention. | |||

"***MOD ALERT*** Wouldnt really bother me being 'branded' as a mod but I would prefer flashing lights and a fanfare when I post, rather than just having a star by my name ***MOD ALERT*** Only downside for me would be people assuming that every time you join in a thread you are doing it with a 'mod' hat on. But that happens anyway so wouldnt really make much difference I suppose Same goes for me/us. I/ We wouldn't want people responding differently. I don't want flashing lights but being ushered in by oiled up, semi-nude men could be an option...couldn't it? " Now that might make me think it is a good idea | |||

Can you imagine the size and pettiness of the messages in their in box because they have a life outside of Fab and haven't responded to a reported comment within 30 seconds! There is a report button on every comment on here, every profile. That should be enough, I don't think they should have to deal with PMs as well." As stated by a mod....they don't they pass them on to admin. And if people want to be abusive to them they would get banned! So I think we should agree to disagree on this | |||

"I do believe that there should be a maximum time that the position can be held. To prevent the "well they would see it like that, they've been friends on here for years" conversation." Sounds like a nice idea in theory. Unfortunately this isn't a democracy though and the mods are still doing job on behalf of a private enterprise. Even if it is on a voluntary basis. | |||

Another polite way of telling them to go take a holiday I hope Seriously! I think anyone sending a abusive pm to anyone should be more then banned of the forums...it should be the whole site.
