This is a forum that we built. And in order for the forum to survive, there has to be order. For there to be order, there have to be people with power to keep the forums under control. For the people to successfully keep the forum under control, they have to be able to communicate with each other. The Secret Box was made to serve that purpose. It just allows us to easily communicate with the rest of the moderators. If we had kept it hidden from the start of the forums, you would never have realised that it existed, therefore it makes no difference whether its there or not. We are all humans here, moderators are not gods. You are not "little people". You still have the power to argue and express your opinion as long as its not breaking the rules of the forum. We do not edit posts or delete topics unless a rule is broken. There was one instance in which a moderator edited a post for his own amusement, but the moderator was reprimanded and it will never happen again. Also, every forum on this site is a place for members to "chill". The Secret Box is just a quick and easy way for moderators to communicate in secrecy.
