> He has been doing HN moderation work for years already and knows the site and its practices inside-out, so the only new thing you'll see is mod comments from Tom showing up in the threads the way mine do.

I wonder if there are any other secret moderators.

If you reach 160'000 karma you can see the secret mods

At 1 million you become a secret mod. Or so I hear.

If you flag, downvote, and/or vouch comments, you're basically already a moderator-lite yourself :)

I dunno, I feel like that'd be "curation" rather than "moderation".

There are many, I think? Dang has mentioned other moderators (plural) before, I believe.
