Clearly it was to just get him through a temporary modding to avoid a big fuss from the people who would make a big deal out of it. They thought it would be less of a fuss to have him secret than to have him mod on his main account.

Jasper and I had a conversation with these exact words:
i don't know for sure but i think i started to like him when he had started posting as himself, but before i found out it was him. which explains why i started to like him lol
i mean, i was annoyed that police was hidden as well, because i didn't know and i wanted to know. eventually i got over it and started to like police just before i found out it was arcbell. arcbell told me that it was never intended to stay secret permanently, it was always intended to be temporary. his avatar changing wasn't to hide his identity.
it was to make light of all the people trying to guess who he was. this much is obvious and i haven't spoken to him about it. the intent was clear from the get-go
i have put my differences aside with him. i don't insult him anymore and i've said numerous times that i don't hate him. that doesn't change the fact that i think he's immature and i don't think he's gotten very much better in the half-year it's been since he was an admin. the whole police thing is very similar to when he was messing around as thewhitebunny or whatever it was

but hes a good mod and was a good mod
Even if he hasn't "changed" he doesnt have the power he did before, nor will he ever
i'm fine. if i felt like this was really important i would have brought it up as soon as i found out he was modded. i still don't think he should have any sort of say, though, and i don't think he's changed as much as everyone assumes he has
well if he didn't think it was important that he remained a secret mod he probably would have just kept the no fun avatar

My point is that I don't think he has any right to judge Arcbell for trying to be funny and harmlessly changing his avatar to other users'. He didn't hurt anyone by doing it and assuming that he hadn't really learned from his mistakes because of it is totally wrong
