WoW! Just WoW! As soon as I created this thread here, the thread got unlocked and moved from Bitcoin Discussion to Service Discussion. Nice Ninja move by someone in the moderation team to tarnish my reputation in public eye. Kudos to the people who think, after spending 8+ years on BitcoinTalk, I can not recognize the difference between a locked and an unlocked thread. I should have taken a screenshot. My mistake, that I did not.

For someone who, as you say, has been on the forum for 8 years, you should know what belongs in the Bitcoin discussion and what doesn't belong there. I think the Service Discussion is quite appropriate for that topic, although of course it doesn't have as much exposure as the Bitcoin discussion.

Regarding theymos, I have utmost respect for that man. I have witnessed, at the time of crisis in scaling debate, how he stood his ground against all odds. So, I thought, it would be worthwhile to tag him in a situation, where a mod is trying to cover some information from having maximum exposure on BitcoinTalk.

No one is trying to hide anything, and the moderator who handles the report only acted on the report (I personally reported it) with a link to an already existing discussion, and if he closed the thread, he did it completely logically, because it makes no sense to have the same discussion in two different boards. Someone from the administration (global mod or admin) obviously had a different opinion even after seeing this thread and canceled the previous decision.

It's not the first time something like this has happened, not all people are the same and they don't make decisions in the same way.
