So are you a hacker news moderator? Your comment history seems filled with comments on other peoples comments. If so can your account be labelled as such? Do

  Dang and Scott Bell are the two moderators here. I don't know Scott's username but Dang is pretty well known. It confused me at first too but he's been pretty active lately so I think they just don't tag is because it is such a small community and pretty much everyone knows who Dang is.

  Yes, as godelski explained. We don't mark moderator usernames as different on this site. Partly that's because the site creator (pg) never did so, and partly because we don't want to create divisions between ourselves and the rest of the community. We're community members too, indeed were that long before we ever became moderators. It would feel weird to go around with special hats on. At the same time, I know it leads to confusion sometimes, and I'm sorry about that.
