Can Mods Turn Off "Invisible Mode" in Tber's Profiles?

Hi there,

Once in a while I notice that my invisible mode option changes itself. I normally have mine set for invisible, but every so often, it's disabled and no, I am not going it and changing it myself.

So it's one of two things:

1 - A bug with the forum software that disables invisible mode randomly. I doubt this is the case, but it's possible.

2 - Mods are going in and changing it on my profile. No, I have no fear of anybody spying on me. I guess it's possible that in some cases I'm PMing back and forth with a moderator on the sale of a piece of equipment and they want to see if I'm replying to them, etc.

So, anyone know if mods can alter this?

Thanks
 
I'm pretty sure mods cannot. I think what's happening is that you momentarily drop from Supporting Member status back to Registered status (for you, between 1-30 and 1-31). Invisible mode is not an option for non-SM's, so it gets defaulted back.
