You don’t have to be a mod to do it – just read this:

Mod (and audience):
We don’t censor
Oh? Who did this, then?

[Note: My posts in that thread weren’t censored, I just thought it would be funny to stick that at the bottom. I didn’t even realize the original wasn’t in parentheses until now…]

The mods don’t answer this kind of question. It may be a policy,
or it may be so that no one can ever pester them with questions.
Also, I haven’t seen those 3 AM post approvals. Maybe it’s only on some nights.
Scared driver delight:
They know everyone's names
No, they don’t. They know your e-mail address at most.
(If you send YWN [or anyone else] an e-mail from your account, that will give them your name, though. I suggest having an anonymous e-mail account or two.)
How many posters are really MODS?
I don’t think there are many mods running around.
100 and 29 came on in November of 2013, and other than 42, they are the only mods known to be currently active, so I think it’s safe to assume they were hired because they were needed.
That makes a total of 3 mods, unless the Editor also mods.
It would take some work for them to run multiple identities
to make a tumult while moderating everyone else as well.
But if they were posting under other names, why would they ever post as themselves on non-moderation topics, which they do?
(Maybe just so people would say that…)
Actually, I think 100 only posts about moderation, or if he’s addressed. Maybe 29 and 100 are the same person, and 100 is his moderation-only name, while 29 is used for conversational posting?
