View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators
I think you should opt moderators out automatically. I don’t want people knowing the best times to attack the subs I moderate, and most mods are presumably perfectly capable of turning it on if they want.
Also, such a tiny portion of your membership it’s not going to make any difference to whatever it is you’re trying to get out of this.

JFC this is what happens when all of your employees are too busy to actually use your product. How obvious is it that this can easily be used to abuse Mods and moderation.
Literally the "Mods are asleep," indicator light.

Yeah, as a mod, I've already opted out.
The only good news is that mods *should* be checking this subreddit so they know what the hell is going on.
The only bad news is that I'm sure many don't. And this forces us to go make a settings change to opt out. Opt out sucks. Opt in is the way to go.
Although I know reddit is trying desperately to do things that bring in money and keep the site running. So I do understand why they're doing this. Even though it always makes me sad that they have to.
