I am the only one that I know of that works in invisible mode. I am trying to cut back from spending 18 hour days here. It has really helped to cut back on the number of PM requests I get for such things as changing subject lines, now that there are more mods here who can help with such things. I will remain in invisible mode for the foreseeable future.

My title/color is changed to Project Avalon Organizer and I only do moderating as a back up.

I gather the posts and mod chats on a member (and also ask for other mods to help with that) that is being discussed and I put them in one thread to help keep us all on the same page about a troublesome member. No ban is taken lightly and if anything we over discuss it.

I watch for members that put up ideas and copy them over to mod central for discussion. I watch for signs of trouble on the forum innards and nag the tech guys until they believe me that there is a problem. The list goes on.

Today I brought up a topic for discussion with the mods/admin that was suggested in this thread and I will report the result of that in my next post.

I think there are advantages to having an "invisible watcher."
