View submission: Announcing Subreddit 2 Subreddit Modmail
...it's been with a subreddit that isn't exactly trustworthy. I definitely try to avoid showing my username in those situations.
If you're talking to the subreddit moderators, what bad does using your public moderating account do? It's a discussion, and this new feature allows for greater transparency between mod teams that isn't one sided like it has been. Both sides can't hide behind the subreddit name, and this new feature is like an official stamp showing it's between moderators, and not a specific user who may or may not be acting on behalf of a subreddit.
if subreddit A has a submission that is resulting in a brigade on subreddit B, why should someone on subreddit B be forced to reveal their username when modmailing subreddit A about the issue?
If subreddit A has a submission causing a brigade it's not the subreddit causing the brigade, but the user's post. With this new feature, now there's better official legitimacy for reaching out. Subreddit A likely does not want to break reddit's TOS by ignoring brigades from lack of proper moderation.
There's nothing here!
