I've been hearing claims that when players type /nearby and a disappeared mod is close, it shows their name and that when typing in local and a disappeared mod is close, it does not say "No one hears you." I decided to test this for myself to see if there is any way for a player to tell if a disappeared mod is nearby. Here are my results:
/Nearby gives the name: FALSE. Even though a disappeared mod was standing right next to me, /nearby still said "None!"
Chatting in local doesn't say "No one hears you": TRUE. With a disappeared mod standing right next to me, saying a line in local chat did not say "No one hears you." It said nothing, meaning that another player received the message.
Conclusion: This is a problem. Disappeared mods should not be able to be detected in any way, especially by players trying to avoid the law. Since there is a way for disappeared mods to be detected, this means that griefers could type lines into local chat and skedaddle when "No one hears you" doesn't show up. I believe this should be fixed as soon as possible to make moderation more effective.
Special thanks to Kodak28 for helping me with the test.

Well done.
And nice mythbusters theme you got going there... "going to test the validity of several myths".

There is already a topic that has discussed about it, but I appreciate the effort you put in to test this theory.
