Civility in GT

Maybe it's time to convince Neal to change the one account policy.

Crossing threads a bit here since I've just said a similar thing over on a different thread, but this is a multi-thread discussion at the moment.
I can't speak for all the moderators on this forum, but Takeda will sign his post with 'The Management' when he is acting as a moderator.

Like so:

So, if you come across a post by Takeda and it's usually relatively short and ended with 'The Management' then you know that that is a moderator post, not a personal one. Otherwise he is a member just like you or I.
A number of members are also moderators primarily for fighting spambots, Herr B is, I think, and so is Jimbuna, although feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Do you feel the same way about them?

Honestly, August, I can see where you're coming from, but I think that you are in the minority in this respect, and I can't see Neal changing something that has been in place for a long time for a minority rather than a majority. I, personally, have always been able to differentiate between the two identities of the moderator accounts on this forum, and I think that many other members are also able to.

I honestly don't have the solution to this conflict, but I certainly think that a little bit of breathing space for all involved would be a good start.
