madman was never given mod powers
He was just named a mod as a joke.
The current admins/ mods ARE accountable, because we knw who they are and can discuss with them. If a mod edits someone, it'll say 'edited by ______' at the bottom and we can argue with that person.
If madman edits someone, then we don't know who did it cuz madman is a public troll. That leaves things open to abuse.
That may not apply anymore however, according to what MH is saying.
mARVeN, If you've taken over madman and changed the password so that only U can use him then it's true that he's not a public troll, but you've taken away the only thing that ever made him interestin (his multiplicity) and the rationale for naming him a mod in the first place disappears.
