Hi,

Can moderators or super moderators see the e-mails or names of an account holder even though these were not made public by the person?

Yes, we who run the site can see your email address and other personal information that you enter when you register. This is needed to send password-reset emails etc. This information is not available to any normal users though. You can read more in our privacy policy here:

So the moderators know who the hell I am...

AAAAAAAAAA

Anyways, Thank you Jola.

PS: I hope they would not share my personal info with anyone else since I haven't seen any item in the Privacy Policy suggesting otherwise.

Thank you very much Jonas, I should have read it more carefully.

It is really difficult to be Boris Johnson in this life, I should take care of my privacy.
