Why Zen sticky post are now "anonymous" ?

I hope he comes back. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a better moderator. He was knowledgeable and levelheaded. Not a common combination.

Not common at all. But there is one person I can think of who's even better at the task: Gandalf. He might not be as much of a walking encyclopaedia of Dom as Zen is/was, but he's more impartial (and much more patient) as a moderator, which are more important traits for the job.

Actually I'll clear up both of your previous Posts with one. One rule I observe when doing anything with any forum is that Moderator's actions are not for public criticism. It undermines their ability to do their job. If there is an issue with a Moderator, that should be taken up the chain of command and handled internally as much as possible.

I have no problem with discussion over why Zen left, otherwise I would have locked this threads as well. However the previous post, that was editted, specifically criticized someone who cannot defend himself now and was a Moderator on the Boards. There is a distinction. As far as re-instating the ID I will leave that decision to Zen himself, if he wishes to then we will, otherwise we will respect his wishes to have his account deleted.

Again feel free to speculate but please leave it out of the realm of discussing how one moderator is better than the other or how a previous moderator had failings. It is counter productive and to be honest isn't fair to anyone involved.

Thanks.
