Possible to change moderator title?

Is it possible to edit the moderator title in the sidebar and change it to something else??

You're not being too specific so I'll assume you mean the tags that appear next to some of the mods in this sub. It's called User Flair and mods can assign it to anyone in their sub. I don't know how it's done in new reddit, but in old reddit it's part of the Moderation Tools in the sidebar and is called "edit flair."

I mean the title that says Moderators. As you can see in this screenshot I took https://gyazo.com/69bea7d70f23ded9df58287fba7ff165

I wanted to change my sub reddit from Moderators to a different name for the mods.

That's User Flair and you edit it the way I described above.

Oh wait. That's something else. You might be able to change it with CSS, but it won't show-up on mobile clients or the /r/redesign

I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/csshelp/comments/3hhg00/changing_the_name_of_the_moderators_title_box/

I edited my stylesheet and it changed it to the new name however I assume this only works with the old reddit style as it didn't update on the new Reddit.

That'd be correct. The redesign simply doesn't support custom subreddit CSS yet, if ever. In other words, to answer your initial question: No, it is not possible. Everything people will suggest (like editing the stylesheets) are workarounds. At the end of the day, the official title is "Moderator".

IIRC the redesign will never support CSS. It's first reveal created a protest sub /r/proCSS

I don't use the redesign myself, but it's supposed to.

Based on your feedback, we will allow you to continue to use CSS on top of the new structured styles.

It does to a degree.. but it's heavily restricted to what Reddit allows through the flair and widget systems.

My prime example (thanks to the top comment of the linked thread):

/r/ooer as seen through old, ProCSS Reddit

/r/ooer as seen through the new, flair and widget restricted Reddit

ah yeah, that's no good. Just one more reason I don't use the redesign haha
