Ever heard of a secret admin or moderator?
Back when I did retail loss prevention, I would dress in normal clothing and follow shoplifters. I blended in and looked like I was a normal customer. Once the shoplifter attempted to depart the store, I would apprehend them in the parking lot.
Imagine this same concept but for forums.
Have a regular member account that no one knows is a staff member. That account would watch for violations like PM spam or stuff like that only to take action when violations are found.
Do any of you practice this? Do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea? Why?
