I'm not allowed to discuss things like that.

Plus, the idea of having a common account to issue warnings means there would be absolutely no accountability in who did what. Believe it or not, we like to have a bit of transparency in our actions, so admins and other mods can be sure no one is abusing their mod duties. If you received a warning from 'Moderator1' that you disagreed with, it would take more time and effort to get the issue resolved.

I'm not allowed to discuss that either.

Just skip our posts if you don't like us. The idea is quite ridiculous, you're basically asking if it's okay to totally ignore the people who keep this place in check. What's the benefit in that?

I don't think that has anything to do with what I said.
I was asking about a practical solution to allow anything that is not moderating become invisible, even though the person posting it is a moderator on the forum. That is, whenever the mod does not do moderating, I should not need to see their posts.
For instance - any formal or informal warnings in a thread could be posted through a specific or alternative account. This is doable, obviously.
