I'm confused. If there's a 1 in 10 chance that the moderator has not identified themself when locking a thread, just exactly who are you supposed to e-mail (every moderator on the board then, perhaps, hoping to get an answer from the responsible party)?
To me it seems only fair that a moderator closing a thread should identify themself 100% of the time, so that if a poster wants to follow up, they have that opportunity via e-mail with the specific moderator.</font>
Seems logical to me, but given that I am neither the person who did it, nor am I in a position to identify who did it - there's really nothing more I can do.
If the issue was the poster thinks the thread should be open - that can be discussed and acted upon. That's not the case though.
If the poster really wants to know which moderator closed the thread, e-mail is the most appropriate way to discover that information. When Dan, the WebFlyer tech, wants to know which moderator deleted a particular post or thread, he asks via e-mail. He doesn't start threads on the forum in question.
So writetorich should feel free to pursue the inquiry to whatever extent he wants, but he should do it within defined channels - not via broadcast on the FT:AA forum.
