I was thinking… Should ATS moderators, supers and admins be given a sock puppet account in order to do their moderating?

I’ve noticed in the few other non-ATS forums I’ve posted in, that this is not done. So, there must be a reason why this is a particularly bad idea. Could someone enlighten me as to why?

(not saying your one of them)
I have never had the problem of finding the differences between the post of a Mod that is there opinion on a subject, or when they are doing their job.

Tell me why a mod would need or want to hide under another identity when he/she is doing their job?

I have a feeling if this particular moderator was to warn me (even for a worth-while reason), I might snap ...
Thoughts/opinions?

I think it's not a good idea for the mods to hide behind an anonymous name to prevent members from snapping. Just say no to snapping.
