Good points ... one other forum I go to the moderators id's are known. I should also point out that it is a very regulated forum.

Personally I still find keeping them a secret is a bit too much. But then again, I am not a person to hold grudges, and keep personal differences aside. I would rather know who they are, then to have this little secret organization, kept behind the curtain. This I feel breeds an element of distrust. Imagine if the individual names of you local police force were, kept a secret.
