I don't think the software allows the mod to be identified. I could be wrong, so we'll check into it.
The mods are volunteers and do an awesome job. They never vet for accuracy, but for tone. Unfriendly posts can either be edited or simply deleted at the mod's discretion. So play nice. That doesn't mean you can't be opinionated but express your utter disdain gently.
Moreover, mods aren't prowling SB looking for an errant apostrophe. We usually rely on you users reporting a post to alert us that there is a problem. That doesn't stop a mod from dealing with an egregious post, but we really try to let the forum tell us how the forum should sound.
Finally, there are different standards for different areas on SB. If you're in a learning (green) zone, then we are a lot tougher on being nice. Unloading on a noob is not cool. Contrast that with the Pub, where only the snarkiest of posts are removed, and you can see how hard moderating this place can be.

Meh ... I've got almost twice as many posts as Frank, and I get outside every day. I'm currently sitting on a rooftop patio in the Thamel district of Kathmandu, awaiting sunrise and transport off to play in the Himalayas for a couple days. It's not a question of activities, it's a matter of using your time effectively ...
