My problem with anon mods is that there's...less personal responsibility, I guess? It's easier to flake off and just abandon the game without any personal repercussions, and open up a new one in a month without anyone knowing you're a shit mod.

And I'd also be really embarrassed if I made a close personal friend who I vented about the game to at times, and then found out they were a mod. I am friends with mods at one game I play, and I never vent to them because it just seems obnoxious to do so.

All of this. Anonymodding just seems like a convenient way for the people behind the mod account to duck responsibilities. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I'd like to know who's running the ship so I can decide for myself if the game looks like it'll die within a month or turn into a cliquey circlejerk or have a shot at being something awesome. Also, yeah... not knowing who the mods are just means people who would normally vent to a gamemate in private will probably take it here or to anticirclejerk.

I don't think I'd ever join a game with mods I can't see. For all we know, they could be one of the prizewinners from Caligo.

I personally don't mind anonymods, because I figure it's about the same chance of good/bad mod as you get with mods you've never heard of. Equal chance of turning out batshit crazy or excellent. I can understand being wary of investing in a game like that, but it doesn't seem more or less dangerous than non-anon mods to me in that sense.

As for venting to gamemates, just go to ones you've known for a while or ones you trust. Either way, if they're not actually batshit mods and you're not exploding all over everything I don't really see anything to worry about.

Though, I guess most people would find that a hassle. To each their own.

If they're a good mod, they won't care that you're just venting.
