Something that I just don't get about prompt comms and how they're different to every other comm on every other website I've been to.

Everywhere else, the mods or admins always make themselves know. And it's always easy enough to find out who they are, even if it's just a name. The RPs I'm in, if I don't know the names of the mods, I at least know where to find out. I might not know anything about them, but I at least know they're a person.

Prompt comms on the other hand, with a few exceptions, there's nothing anywhere ever that tells you who the mods are. Believe me, I've looked. I suppose there's nothing to stop me asking, but there's no way to get that question across without sounding like you're a bit of an arse.

That's why on the profile page of oncoming_storms I made it said who the mod is (well, it gives Harry's LJ, but on that it has a link back to mine). It just seems like good manners to me to have it there. And it reminds people that the mod is only human and is therefore not omniscient or infallible.

But what's the difference with RP prompt comms? Why the secrecy? On the drabble and flashfic comms there's always a way to know who the mods are and they're quite a similar thing.

It could lead to misinterpretation like one I've read recently. On it, the mod says that they're affiliating with various other comms on the basis that they're non-wanky (fandom definition). But for all I know, it could actually be that they're all run by the person writing the post. It's probably not, but there's nothing to say otherwise.
