I wonder if there are any other secret moderators.



We're all secret moderators except you.


This would have been an epic April 1st joke :)


I thought we were all bots?


Both can be true.


There are many, I think? Dang has mentioned other moderators (plural) before, I believe.


If you reach 160'000 karma you can see the secret mods


was really hoping the threshold is 65,535 because I'm much more likely to reach it counting backwards.


At 1 million you become a secret mod. Or so I hear.


If you flag, downvote, and/or vouch comments, you're basically already a moderator-lite yourself :)


Upvoting posts has a moderation-like effect (opposed to that of downvoting).


I dunno, I feel like that'd be "curation" rather than "moderation".
