Moderator Pro-Tip/Suggestion

MillionDollar Belt Sander:
First of all,  the mod staff does good work here.    Got an idea though!

What I do when I moderate on various forums...  I use regular text for interaction with members and I switch to a different color when I have to moderate.  That way there is absolutely NO mistaking what is a mod call and what is me being my typical assholish and very juvenile self.  LOL BUTTS.

 

Is it cold in here?:
The xkcd forum does that and it works there.

What to use, though? Red seems too dramatic for a gentle nudge or a throat-clearing, and anything else would have to be explained.

MillionDollar Belt Sander:
Well, what I did at Rubber.Net when it was active...


I put this in my sig:

OFFICIAL FORUM MODERATOR
This is my serious voice otherwise I'm just here for the debates.

Wraith11B:
Blue Emu does that over on the Paradox Interactive boards...

pwhodges:
I've been using italics for my own moderatorial posts, and colour when modifying someone else's post.  No-one has misunderstood so far, and I don't see any need for  a greater degree of formality.  We already have clear indicators of our moderator status (and people can after all turn off display of signatures, as indeed I do).
