So another topic that's come up recently, and has been an issue for a long time, is hidden staff. Why does Derpibooru lean so heavily on hidden staff? Hidden developers, hidden mods, even hidden admins. If you're actively shaping policy or moderating users/images, then you should be visible and accountable. This isn't a new thing either, Zippy's been hidden staff for _*years_*. Was it originally a feature to allow staffers to step back and go on a vacation without fully removing permissions that eventually became heavily abused? Or was the intention to have secret police and use it to play politics the entire time?


 
There needs to be a public policy on what the staff page actually represents. Because right now we have one admin and it's the Furbooru admin. But that's not what the staff page says. Or is Nebula a real admin now? I don't know, I can't know. It's all lies and intentional misrepresentation to your users. There is no transparency and that needs to be fixed.
No reason given
