There definitely needs to be some way of distinguishing Beano staff from ordinary readers. You should suggest this to the Beanotown webmaster.
Surely the name "Beano Staff" was a dead giveaway?
You'd think so, but Steve Henderson obviously doesn't agree. It's not unlike a message board. Here, the mods names appear in red, everyone else's in black. I was only saying maybe that's what Beanotown.com should do.
Presumably members' aliases have to be approved before they can comment, (in case anyone uses an inappropriate name) so anyone calling themselves "Beano Staff" who wasn't Beano staff wouldn't get through would they?

They do moderate, but I would think it would be to prevent swearing. They don't check too thoroughly what's being said though, I've seen a comment asking who the artist is, posted
after Beano Staff already confirmed it was Dave Eastbury. Daft, since the question had already been answered. But if someone pretended to be staff, then yeah, I suppose the message wouldn't appear. I still think staff should be easily identifiable from everyone else.
