Hi. I moderate for a message board site which is possibly going to switch to Discourse.
The moderators at this site post, but regular members are not aware of which other posters are moderators. We do this by having two accounts, one regular, and one with moderation abilities.
Is there a way to hide the moderator icon so that we can use the moderator account to post, without it being visible that we are moderators?
Thanks.
Interesting, I don’t think there is any way to do this other than switching between two accounts. Browser profiles are useful for this, e.g. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2089364/how-to-create-and-manage-multiple-user-profiles-in-chrome.html
@NewMod, I am curious, if you don’t mind. Why do you keep who is a moderator private?
Thank you. I will look.
We will probably end up using two browsers, as we currently do.
Good question. When I started, that was the protocol, so I can only guess why it was implemented that way.
My guess is that if a member knows that I deleted his/her post(s), that will cause some bad feelings, and it will be difficult to keep an amicable relationship.
Interesting. To the best of my knowledge, Discourse does not reveal to a user that their post was deleted, let alone who deleted it (but I’d ask @codinghorror to be sure). In the site I help moderate, we (the mods) participate as regular users, and moderate as needed. It has never caused an issue for us, and part of the reason why (I think) is that we maintain clear rules/guidelines so no one is confused when something happens.
You could try using CSS
i.fa.fa-shield {
display:none;
}
Not sure about the About page that lists Admins and Moderators. Or the Groups page.
Non-Moderator members won’t see the “post deleted by” posts, but they will still see “Closed by” and “Pinned by” etc. posts.
So I think you could make it less likely for members to find out who the Moderators are, but the only sure way is to have two accounts and remember to not post something while in non-Mod mode that will give it away.

Thanks for your help.
저희도 비슷한 상황입니다. 수백 명의 활성 사용자로 구성된 작은 커뮤니티라 서로를 잘 알고 있거든요. @david 님이 만든 GitHub - discourse/discourse-anonymous-moderators · GitHub 플러그인을 사용하기 시작했습니다. 이 플러그인은 관리자가 공개된 계정과 익명 계정 사이를 쉽게 전환할 수 있게 해줍니다.
우리는 보통 내 이름과 사용자 계정을 사용하여 일반적인 moderations를 수행하지만, 웹이 제재를 부과해야 하는 경우 누가 조치했는지 공개하고 싶지 않을 때를 위해 공용 moderator 계정과 admin을 갖추고 있습니다.
저는 그 계정을 사용하지 않고 항상 제 자신의 계정을 사용합니다.
하지만 계정을 변경하지 않고도 익명으로 moderations를 수행할 수 있게 해주는 그 플러그인은 흥미롭네요.
모더레이터의 설정에서 Title(제목) 항목으로 스크롤을 내리고 None(없음)을 선택할 수 있습니다. 모더레이터는 None(없음), Leader(리더), Regular(일반) 중 하나를 선택할 수 있습니다. 저는 관리자이자 모더레이터이지만, 개인 설정에서 None(없음)을 선택했기 때문에 제 이름 뒤에 아무것도 표시되지 않습니다… 제목도, 방패 아이콘도… 아무것도요. 원하신다면 Regular(일반)를 선택할 수 있으며, 그러면 해당 표시가 나타납니다.
