_admin seems like it could be confusing as well because per profile, the Moderators and Maintainers are both under Administration.

For aesthetic reasons, I don't prefer to have underscores in my own user names, so I would probably refrain from using the feature if I had to have that added, though I recognize it is definitely the easiest version to mask/add anonymity a community moderator, though I wouldn't have been beyond specifying an anonymous account name, either. I could see where that might fail considering it would 1) take up an additional name on the server, and 2) would have to have the ability to be deleted to free up said name, where a _mod/_admin tag is just like a _feed, and much easier to track and not to confuse.

Curiously, I wonder how the mod hat were to operate if, say, there were multiple communities and you wanted the same mod account to be able to respond to all of them?

Like say I have a roleplay community [profile] community, an ooc community for it [profile] community_ooc, and a logs community [profile] community_logs: It could get very tedious if I had to deal with [profile] community_ooc_admin, [profile] community_logs_admin, [profile] community_admin respectively. I wonder how those will be handled.
