@Modbot example - the primary difference, in my mind, between the two scenarios is intent. The reason why Modbots are anonymous is to avoid potential ingame retribution for actions in the forum. Players would be unlikely to target the admin with attacks unless they felt a decision to be grossly unfair. The main reason, then, for an admin to hide is to keep their ear to the ground while avoiding potential controversy via conflict of interest.
