Answer :

answer:The current system is fine with me. I don’t see a benefit to the member who has a post moderated to have their name displayed. The reasons given are good enough to satisfy my curiosity. What member doesn’t have an off-moment? From my understanding, the moderators, or at least Augustlan, can keep an eye on a member who is having more than an average number of posted deleted. One of the moderators will have a private chat with the member, and if need be, give them a ‘time out’ from Fluther. Some return; some don’t. The best action we members can take is flag the questionable posts when they come up.
