XP: Secret Mods?
A friend of mine received the following message from TK:
"We removed moderators a few months back and have come to the realization that we need help! Our mistake, and we’re owning that!
That’s where you come in, if you accept. We’ve handpicked you for the opportunity to secretly moderate our forums as we continue to improve the community.
Why secretly? Well, not everyone loves moderators, so we’re giving you the opportunity to enforce the rules and keep things cool while still being a “regular” user. There’s no moderation badge this time to show off to other members or assigned boards at the moment. But we will reward your efforts (who likes gift cards?!).
The role details are still being worked on, but we wanted to tap you and see if you’d be interested in moderating."
Really TK? What the hell is the point of having SECRET mods? AND bribing them?

Wow. WHAT THE HELL.
I post here every day, much like some of you, and didn't receive an invite to secret mod.
That is obnoxious.
ETA: I bet it's because my advice was posted in TK magazine alongside banhammered members.
ETA: I like gift cards.
Secrecy of modship will negate their authority. A newbie will just think a reg is being mean and trying to control how he or she posts if they give a warning or reminder of the TOS.
Mods should never have been removed. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Not to mention, it will be even MORE confusing for newbie posters.
At least with identified mods on each board, a newb could PM a mod if they were confused...or it was easy to see who the "authority" figure was if you were a newb or lurker.
You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.
