> If you use [uBlock](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm) (or something like it), you can make a custom filter to block moderators when they’re not acting as mods.

I think this is a really bad idea. Sometimes someone will ask for clarification or there may be other situations where a mod doesn’t clearly indicate that the post is them speaking as a moderator.

If someone misses moderator instructions and ends up running afoul of them, we’re not going to have much sympathy if you installed some sort of mod filter.
