I didn't lock the topic. It was locked prior. The post before mine is dated "09 Sep 2007 16:02", and today is the 13th. If it had still been open there would not have been that lull in posts.
That's my point. Topics get locked and then mods/admins post replies on them again because
they are the only ones that can. That is why I made this thread. You cannot lock a topic and make a final, summarize-all-according-to-you post so the last opinion is yours, that is abusing mod privileges. If it is locked it is locked and you cannot reply, no matter who you are, especially if you are involved.
The first parts of your posts don't really deal with me (not an issue here) so I omitted them.
When I said 'none the wiser' it's wasn't meant to be that the community would notice the added planet. It was that for those mods who wished to keep their identity secret in game could. I was talking about IDs, I was not talking about pulling the wool over the users eyes. If there was something to be given out, then that was an option to help protect some of those IDs.
I never thought that the community wouldn't notice. Never did I think that nor do I think any of the mods did. Case in point: I said that those planets could have been bought (naq) or mt's used as examples of way that someone could have acquired the planets, ie. what I, a player, would think looking at accounts). If I thought the community wouldn't have noticed the planet I would not have listed examples of ways that they could be acquired.
People couldn't really distinguish between mod account and users account before the name tag change, and mod are attacked/threatened for modding. It is becoming a necessary precaution to protect your ID if you are a mod.
Frankly, I find it amazing that some many members of the community are ok with getting a screenshot of one post from some users here, but don't ever think to ask them for the posts that appeared before it.
It's like starting a book on page 10 and expecting to know what happened in the past 9 pages. Why don't you get screenshots of the post before mine to see what we were talking about? You're judging mods again without the whole picture.

Abusing my moding privileges? Did you read my post?
In that one paragraph above you state (pertaining to me):
- I locked a topic to make it final
- I summarized an 'all according to me' post so the last opinion is mine
This is what I said at the bottom.

Again, I did not lock that topic.
No where did I say that what I said what the 'end all' to this discussion. Never did I imply that or want that. I direct people where to go if they wish to discuss it. The oly reason I posted there was because my words were twisted in that thread.
The topic was locked before this section was created (post before mine), and was commented on both a supermod and game Jason. I'm not going to go against their mod action by reopening it, and I did recognize that there would still be discussion about it and suggested for people to pm me or create a thread here.
post the whole paragraph...
