This isn't hard to understand. The aptly named MADmods use this *2nd* layer of secrecy in order to avoid being held accountable for their unfairness. (juliann, in particular, is especially guilty of this, I believe.) The desire to "out" the Mods over here is really just a calling out of their unfairness. After all, you don't see the mods over here using pseudonyms, no do you? Nor did the mods at ZLMB use them. Keep trying, Smac, and I am sure you will be able to contrive a half-way plausible excuse for the MADmods pseudonymity. Until then, it will continue to look like exactly what it is: a rather spineless abuse of power.

I don't understand why some think it's a big deal that some here are pre-occupied with 'outing' the identities of the mods at MAD. :)

Yeah, I mean it's not like we were doing what Smac's pal, "Mr. Itchy" was doing---i.e., listing people's addresses, IP information, and etc. Keep trying, Smac. I'm sure you'll gain that morally superior foothold eventually.
One of the difficulties in being a moderator is that posters sometimes throw it back in your face when you're just participating in threads. I suspect this may be the reason for the secrecy.
Being a moderator is a horrible, horrible job. I would never do it again. If I want to be reminded, over and over, of how petty, mean, and sometimes malicious human beings can be, I'll just watch the news. (something I try to avoid now-a-days)

We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
