Any reason why this legitimate thread was locked?

Yes, it's a legitimate thread in the wrong forum. But with that being said, I think there is a problem, and it's getting worse. There should be individualized moderator accounts. Where every mod has their own handle, such as AnandTech Moderator 1, AnandTech Moderator 2, etc. It will still keep them anonymous to users, but I think the complete anonymity and lack of accountability now is resulting some itchy trigger fingers. That and the lack of any real stated rules and inconsistant enforcement of the unstated rules is causing a lot of confusion and frustration.

It won't be happening.

I started a thread here in FI on the very same issue. There were no nefs or "Mod bashing". it was a bunch of members genuinly concerned about where AT was heading.

That post was lcoked, then the next day deleted.

Without acountability, the mods can do whatever they want, and will continue to do so. They will bring the downfall of AT with them. I hope Anand is proud.

He already has been. by multable members multable times. We even tried a group e-mail. No response. There is no guaranty the e-mails are even reaching him. Same with PM's. We have been looking for a 100% sure snail mail address, but have been unbale to locate one.
