[QUOTE=yzb25;906839]They have an effect, I just don't think it gives the mods an unfair advantage per se. I believe I made my position clear before. Other forms of reputation have a much greater effect on the game like "being widely regarded as a pro", and sometimes being red can backfire if ppl use it to smear you. It's not like being a cop at all, I think that analogy was totally misplaced. If I had to compare, a mod signing for an FM game is a lot more like being a politician who's decided to take public transport with the plebs lmao. But even that analogy massively overstates the class divide.

I like anon games for the reasons ppl have stated, but I also like games that aren't anon because ppl's relationships and reptutations add another layer to the analysis. It can get taken too far though, certainly.[/QUOTE]
I 100% agree with this. I have never been affected by peoples red/blue/green colour. The only argument as I see it is that they could insinuate you would be breaking rules/getting infracted by playing in a certain way, and while I’ve seen them trying to ‘bring order’ to games, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that abused.

The only argument for this as I see it is staff using their red name to get others to act in a certain way (with the threat of infraction). This is mostly limited in my experience to getting people to play nice. I’ve never seen this being abused maliciously AFAIK, though. In theory I fully agree with this restriction but in practice it rarely causes issues as far as I can tell.
