I voted for option 3 (both 1&2) but actually it should have been Either 1 or 2 (i.e. make them a bit more visible - I'm not that fussed how you do it)

or, (no option for this in the poll) Mods to sign as moderators when they are moderating so that we all occasionally see that who the moderators are & what mods do.

The reason the latter option wasn't given was because that for both technical and eases sake it doesn't make sense for the moderators to maintain 2 separate forum accounts

I wasn't saying they should have two accounts, I was saying that if they are posting with their modding hat on they should make it clear in the text of the posting i.e.
"I've fixed your link, best wishes Bagpuss (Moderator)"
or "Hi, I'm a moderator, I've fixed your link"
or (hopefully not too often) "Hey guys This is getting a bit heated, please cool it signed Bagpuss (Moderator)"

But having re-read my post, I see that I didn't make that completely clear. I meant Sign their post, not sign in as.

This is something we intend to try and do regardless of the outcome of this poll

Great

Actually, if you do that I think that the whole mod visibility thing would be pretty much fixed - especially if there's a link on the contact us page as well.
