I'm not allowed to discuss that either.
You most certainly are allowed to discuss any sort of moderator action through PMs.

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.
There is no way for us to switch on and off from being a mod. There is no feature that I'm aware of for us to designate some posts as 'moderator posts' and other posts as 'non moderator' posts. I do browse the many 'hacks' and add-ons for vBulletin every now and then and haven't seen anything like this available. If you find something like this, please show it to us.

For instance - any formal or informal warnings in a thread could be posted through a specific or alternative account. This is doable, obviously.
As I said, this removes any sort of oversight to our moderating, something which I'm sure many members would complain about. If all the mods and admins used the same account to issue warnings, it would take much more effort to figure out who did what and when. If you were warned by 'Moderator1' and you disagreed with it, we would have to spend the time figuring out which moderator issued the warning and why. This could take awhile and severely slow down our ability to deal with member complaints. Wouldn't it just be easier to receive a warning from Malvolio and be able to direct your complaints right back to Malvolio directly?
