Can mods still see if you're online?

Mods can't no. Gmods and higher can though

Anyone can if they have enough common sense.

And not regular mods, as far as I know. Senior mods, maybe, but I wouldn't know for certain.

EDIT: Aaron answered it.

Uh, we're talking about VT here, Adam.

Ugh, invasion of privacy

Yes, but when an invisble user is online it won't show the date they were last on since they are on. B)

Exactly what I was saying.

Ah, I see.

No, wait. I'm confused. I don't know.

That's not invasion of privacy.

Exactly.

Gmods and Admins should be able to see your status, and in fact they should be able to access most of the site's functions, because they're the big guns in charge of everything if something goes down. Your online status is still anonymous to 27,215/27,222 or 99.9% of the forum's members - that should be enough privacy for you.

The forum won't collapse if a GMod or an Admin doesn't know I am online

No, but it could cause problems. Why do you need this invisibility cloak over you, anyways? Why so defensive?

It is just needless for admins to know I am online if I made my online status invisible IMO.

By the way, I just learn that there is a "make online status invisible" option

Are you doing something you shouldn't? It's a safety measure. Not directed at you, but you should know some people aren't on VT for the right reasons.

Admins own the goddamn website. It makes perfect sense that they know everything.
