I wonder if there are any other secret moderators.
We're all secret moderators except you.
This would have been an epic April 1st joke :)
I thought we were all bots?
Both can be true.
If you reach 160'000 karma you can see the secret mods
was really hoping the threshold is 65,535 because I'm much more likely to reach it counting backwards.
At 1 million you become a secret mod. Or so I hear.
If you flag, downvote, and/or vouch comments, you're basically already a moderator-lite yourself :)
Upvoting posts has a moderation-like effect (opposed to that of downvoting).
I dunno, I feel like that'd be "curation" rather than "moderation".

There are many, I think? Dang has mentioned other moderators (plural) before, I believe.
