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.
I'm with LLD. I don't think that this is a good rule for the Mafia half of the site.
There is no change there though. The change, from my perspective as an ex-mod who was not involved in the rule change at all, is that mods don't have to know which banned user a troll is an alt of before they can ban them.
