If you decide to report a post on the forum it says that your email address would be revealed to the moderator, does it mean your email address would be revealed to only the moderator that handles the case? Is there a way to put it off that the moderator wouldn't see your email address, for people who do not want their email address revealed OR can moderators see your email address even without you making a report, or is it only the admin that has that power?

It's a very sensitive observation and question your asking with the fact that, our mail addresses are hidden by default except you chose to make it public and that's entirely up to you. Having the knowledge that some actions can lead to exposure as a privacy concerned individual can result in mixed feelings. Although, you've got to have faith in the forum and it's moderators to be of integrity and I can't say any have given us cause to be alarmed yet and that's to the best of my knowledge.

A moderator is the best to answer this question and I can see a few have responded yet from what is obtainable at there end. Perhaps this counts towards that notation in trying to file a report because, its sure not to apply in every case. Just my thought though but, this works to the later.

But then again, maybe Xal0lex never saw the email addresses in the first place

Considering that Xal0lex moderates the Russian board and what "mitzie" said back in 2015, if that was still the case for some of the moderators/staff, Xal0lex would've gotten those:

Only the specific board moderator(s) can see your email when you report a post.

For example if you report a post in the Greek board (in which I'm the board moderator), I receive an email from the forum saying that you reported a post, and that's when I can see your email (in my mailbox, not in the forum)

Also, if you report a post made by a newbie, your email is not known to all the patrollers, but as I said only to the board moderator (if there is one)

These responses are actionable by default and the exposure counts to why moderators and positions in the forum aren't just given off anyhow. Best advice, you don't have to use an all too official mail in your detailing on the forum. Mail addresses are editable and should it be of concern, you can edit to a less official but active mail address.
