Rule Addition Regarding Hiding Identity from Staff

[AniX]

I think it is disgusting a member of this site's staff is campaigning to ban a specific user. What violation has Albert Lalts even committed?

Zoraster, can we talk legal precedent for a moment?

Given mods have been reprimanded for revealing hidden alts in games prior, where is the stance of the moderation team on this?

Because "Also, it's worth noting that while staff members shouldn't use their position to try to gain an advantage in a game, their official duties may mean they discover your identity." makes it sound an awful lot like "mods won't go out of their way to look you up but if they happen to be privy to some knowledge that they wouldn't otherwise, fair game?

Like I just want to know what the standard moderation response to "A Moderator has revealed who I am to the other players in my game while I was playing on an alt" will be.

Surely knowing and revealing are two different things. You can know and not tell anyone else after all. To my knowledge there was no punishment for the mod knowing and only for the mod revealing.

That is the risk you take on when you use an alt.

How do you propose Mafia side site mods make sure alts aren't joining games with their mains then?

[AniX]

I think exactly the opposite way: The ability of users to freely and anonymously use alts in a game should come secondary to the ability of those who take on additional responsibilities to serve this site to play using their main accounts and the burden if one chooses to use an alt should be on the alt user.

I don't think anyone is arguing banning alts. I see some people arguing they are overused or not viable for their stated purposes but that's hardly the same thing. I think they are just saying that IF there is unequal meta interactions between mods and alts it pales in comparison to the unequal meta interactions of alts to others players.
