I wasn't able to reply to the meta thread earlier today, so I want to ask now.
Why is displaying the anchor even something to cast a thought over? The only reason you'd want to hide it is to deliberately avoid transparency. What do you have to hide if you have a bona fide reason bumplock a thread?
Talk of hiding the board log was also discussed. Personally, I don't think the 8chan administration to permit decisions that conceal intent or transparency, that includes the hiding the anchor icon or logs.
