The fact they bothered to answer this one, rather than lock just because you were asking about another locked thread proves they aren't on a powertrip.
I don't think this was a bother for them. Moderating is not a chore (or at least it doesn't seem to be.) Take Great_Pretender for example- he moderates when convienient for him. It's strictly Voluntary.
That being said, they are most certainly not on a power trip. I respect the moderators, but to be honest, I see them as people just like you and me. They just have the tools to take care of un-needed threads and un-needed members.
People look at them too much as gods. I like it when they post- but it's not like every word they say deserves to be "LOL SIGGED!!!"
I don't speak on their behalf at all; please don't take this post as an interpretation of that sort. It's just that they don't "bother" to read threads. They read them just like you and me- and on occassion, they'll read a thread to make sure it's following the rules, as opposed to showing personal interest in it.
They don't have to post. If they wanted, they could just do their work completely in the shadows, and simply lock and ban. But like you and me, they are human. They like to talk. Their decisions are based on the rules, and if we follow them, we will be fine.
This whole situation was nothing more than a........mistake. Yes, they make mistakes *shocker!* And it was handled. They can lock threads and remain anonymous if they want, but on occasion they choose to leave explanations and responses before doing so.
Things are fine with the moderators. Nothing needs to be changed. But the idea of a tabbed response for particular threads would probably be a welcome idea.
Not a sermon- just a thought. My $0.2
