Call for Moderator nominations Locked

One of the moderators of this forum, is also currently the most prolific poster on this forum. The other used to post more often, prior to him becoming a moderator, and now hasn't posted much.

So, is it better that a moderator is just a regular poster with powers, or should they be anonymous?

If a moderator posts as a regular member, then he should take off his moderator label. Otherwise, if a moderator gets into a discussion, and when they doesn't like the way the discussion is going, they'll send a private message threatening the other person with banishment, even if no rules were broken. He should be like everyone else, if you don't want to be in a discussion, then just don't respond, or ignore the other poster. Isn't that what is expected from all posters?

The other day, one of this forum's poster and who was a 'veteran' poster, Ionian, who got fed up with one of the moderator's tactics, and started a thread stating what he saw as an injustice. Since the thread was started late at night, when most people are asleep, the thread was removed before many people read it. And, either Ionian left this forum on his own, or was banned from this forum.

Dpreview needs to do a better job explaining to the moderators what is expected from them. The moderators need to know when to stop being a moderator, so they don't find themselves in a situation where they get upset, and ban someone who's only transgression was to upset the moderator.
