yeah, the secret mods would work better in a larger community. EM is too small for it because it's like the internet version of Cheers, only instead of a bar its an online forum.
frankly, i like to know who is in charge of banning other users, but that's just me

it's a bad idea because you can't make topics about jericho being a kiddie fiddler and circlejerk with your buds, because you won't have irrelevant personal details to be up in arms about when the only thing that should actually matter with regard to someone's moderator qualifications is their competence in doing reports

i think anonymous mods is a bad idea because admins would be able to admin bad players, cheaters and whoever they want without the community checking their additions i.e jasprar could mod all the ex-cheaters he wanted to. that and an anonymous identify would lead to more bias in reports, say i become a mod and start closing all of riddlers reports. whos going to stop me if nobody knows that its me?

Secret mods have never worked on this site, excellent point
They're not. Usually the admin will have some people in mind, mods will have some people in mind. They'll discuss, look at apps, invite for interviews, and take it from there. It's not really a formal election.

i don't really know you i wasn't around a lot when you were a thing
slow....... the reason u don't like anonymous mods is that ur parents never breastfed u as an infant and they always hid information from u....... ur a good guy though lol
there would have to be some system of confidence in mod choosing, and that doesn't currently exist because mod elections are literally actually still a thing in 2015
you think it's a horrible idea because it cuts you out of the information loop and you can't deal with the idea that you're not special. hope this helps.

If there were anonymous mods, I would use the detective skills I have obtained throughout my mafia career to find their identity in a grueling battle of wits, and then execute them publicly when they lose.
