Or they should be forced to publicly reveal at the beginning of the game "I have no knowledge of the identity of any alts in this game".
That's a reasonable request.

But generally mods are an the honor system (much like players are). I trust that moderators to know that the game of mafia is based entirely on knowledge versus lack of knowledge so they have to play at an even level to the other players. If they know that Bob is Albert and it's public info, then whatever the info is out there. But they know that Bob is Albert and the info is private, then they should recuse themselves from the game.

I remember the last game I played I kinda freaked out because I knew a post had been reported. I didn't check who reported it or for what reasons, but I was afraid that the knowledge of the existence of the report was an unfair advantage and I had to contact the Game Mod and List Mod for advice.
