Hidden Staff

For the name thing, maybe just put something in your flavour text for now (the one that reads “Luna Best Pony~”, not sure how it’s usually referred to).

I miss the show so much
This “hidden staff” thing has bitten me a few times. Some user who I knew was a mod did not have the mod title displayed under their name, so I reported it as a bug. I was told that they can turn the mod title ON/OFF at will. Some time later I reported it again, because I forgot. Got the same reply back.

It would be best to remove the ability to hide staff from the site’s code. Assuming the code for Derpibooru will come from the public repo and not some secret one you’d make, the changes can actually be seen and audited, as opposed to having to rely on “trust me bro”.

So the Staff are not hidden but I need to ask what the point of posting Anonymously happens to be?
Mods and Staff can still see who you are, so the only ones your hiding from are the base users.
Or does it actually protect you from things?

Oh wait so they have the abilitu to toggle the Mod icon on or off? I can see where that could be useful at times.

For the record, I have to applaud you for your wording.
It is nearly impossible to verify if a hidden staff member is active or not. Then again, there are still “hidden” staff accounts.
There still are user accounts on here with staff permissions which are not easily visible. However, there’s an easy way to check whether an account is a hidden staff member. You go on their profile and then click on “Tag Changes”. If it says the following: “Stop! This user is a staff member. Ask them before reverting their changes.” then that is a staff memeber.
If someone wants to verify this, check Joey. Still shows up as staff, whereas this doesn’t happen for Blossomforth for example.
We currently have no active staff members with their status hidden

Which is why the fucking staff page should be automatic with no hiding.

This is just ridiculous. Derpi mods trying to enforce any damage control is like watching a three-legged giraffe trying to stand up on ice. The whole thing is based on lies and abusing your own rules, this is a final effect of it.

Joey isn’t doing anything moderation-wise, but there’s a lot of loose ends to tie up in this mess, which require important permissions. It wouldn’t be a good idea to just cut everything.
Similarly, Derpy has a lot of active stuff with talking to artists that we’ll need to sort out over the next few days.

Then keep him visible on staff page until those loose ends are tied.

I really, REALLY fucking hope he isn’t talking to the rest of staff through Joey alone anymore.

He is not.
@Alignac
Raptorshy didn’t step down herself, she had to have access cut because she decided to leak things (a big no-no), and she wasn’t wrapped up in all that much stuff. Actually, there is one report she had open that might be a pain to sort out now, which I will try to deal with later today.

Both of them kinda did essentially toss grenades onto situations that were calming down, albeit in joeys case it was a grenade on top of other grenades due to the Twitter crowd going “Salt the earth.”
I believe the logs described it as artillery.

I parsed that one as more “time to create the post she ended up making anyway”. Which lit the site up all fucking right.
@Angius
Pffft.
@Background Pony #3F64
Artillery isn’t an apt comparison, a better one would be someone opening castle gates to the siegers because they’re shouting really loudly and throwing big rocks.

It’s not just a big oof. It’s a red flag. People are clearly being blatantly lied to on here. Sweep it all under the rug. Not like anyone will find out. If there are active staff, why would you hide their activity and lie about it unless you had skeletons you wanted to cover up?

Please do realize that staff hiding is something that we didn’t just add yesterday; it’s been there a while and while I’m rather against it, there’s I think more important things to deal with right now than what is basically “don’t PM these people because they can’t actually moderate right now”.

Because they don’t match the definition of “active” Meow and Nebulon have, and the remaining staff STILL have gigahuge transparency problems?

I gotta agree with the angry Russian for once, having more transparency for who’s on staff is preferable. If you need to distinguish who’s “active” or not, fine, but I don’t think it hurts to let people know.

It’s not just about not PMing. We know that hidden mods still have access to the mod tools and chat. That is the issue, they can backseat moderate without getting flak. The fact blossomforth was delisted was a pathetic attempt at defusing the situation, but the actual perpetrator still remains with mod tools.
