Hitony is unquestionably a decent chap and has been a massive help in the running of NSC for some years, doing a lot of work behind the scenes to keep things ticking along.
But moderators are not 'above the law' on NSC. Those with a long memory will recall I banned myself when I failed to bite...
No. Hitony is not a moderator at this time.
If people want to criticise who is a moderator, please PM me, as it's my decision alone - I'm happy to explain.
