What would be the point of obfuscating the username in these?
When responding to users you're kind of speaking as the voice of the subreddit, for the subreddit, with an option to reveal you as a specific user. It seems like there's no point in hiding the individual mods so that everyone can see who's replying to whom and might create further confusion when more than one mod from a sub is replying.

How is it more confusing for people on a subreddit to read a hidden username than a single user?
Why wouldn't you want to speak as the voice of the subreddit when communicating with another subreddit? Isn't that kind of the point? What reasons do you think some users want to hide their username today? Why would those not apply here?
