    It has come to my attention that quite a few of the current mods have been using /tag normal quite a bit. This is annoying for new players who need some help and in some cases the mods just pretend that they are not mods. I think that mods should not be allowed to do /tag normal anymore so they can be recognized and do what they are meant to do. Being a mod is something to be proud of, there is no need to hide it and disrupt a new players time.

    Keep in mind that staff members are normal players just like anyone else. We are just allowed to have more privileges. However, should we want to play a game or two without worrying about answering a report, I understand that. Just today I answered around 40 or 50 different reports. It can wear you down quickly if you're not up for the task.

    Staff members are required to have their tag on while assisting someone or giving warnings/punishing someone. Ive noticed most new players dont take the time to hunt down a mod either. Most of the time they just shout into chat for help. In which case, then a mod can either pm them to help them or outright ask them.

    There is sometimes a need to hide it. Feather gave some good reasons above, but also when there are hackers it's often important for mods to hide so the hacker doesn't just turn off their hacks and get away with it. It happens all too often in WarZ. Mods do this generally by going in /vanish, but /tag normal also works.

    A friend of mine got muted by a mod who had normal tag.

    Hmm I understand but sometimes they are all ways in /tag normal.

    i think its important that mods can do /tag normal so they can catch rule breakers, because you shouldn't be breaking the rules anyways, regardless of whether mods are on or not.

    I don't quite understand this. If I've interpreted this correctly, you've said that it's not a rule that mods should be moderating whenever they're online. Isn't the entire purpose of being a mod to catch and punish rule breakers?

    Punishing/warning players in tag normal is already disallowed.

    It could be a glitch on your side. I've joined many HG games and everybody who was already in the game before me, no matter what rank, has a white name, not the default grey one. I don't know what causes this, but it happens.
