    If they are going to police the site, moderators should be restricted from changing their usernames. How are we to hide from them if we don't know who they are?

    Just take it for granted that we are omnipotent.
    Act accordingly and you may survice.

    ok then I propose all mod accounts be called Cesar and all non mod accounts be called plebs, just so we all know where we stand.

    When I first saw the thread title and until I read beyond your first sentence, I actually agreed with you. I also had some manner of logic to back up my reasoning.

    However, once I read your second sentence, my brain began to melt and I completely forgot whatever rationale I had behind agreeing with you in the first place.

    Do you have any valid reason for this thread, or is this thread just the same rubbishy mush you've just turned what was once a magnificent brain into?
