If you do find her hot, babe threads go in a single thread in L&R.
I would have left a note but I thought all that was self-evident for someone who has been here since 2001. Or any length of time for that matter.

By you calling my class into question would it be okay for me to comment on your lack of intellectual ability.
You asked the question in a public forum, I just answered as to why I did what I did. If you didn't want an answer, don't ask the question. Again, it was for your protection.
The person in question has over a dozen conference champions, over 2 dozen final four appearances, over half a dozen national titles and the record for most division one wins. Discussion of will the coach continue to coach or what effect there may be following such a life altering event is hardly a "class" matter and for sure as hell will be at least mentioned on the national sports broadcast as well as heavily talked about in the local media.
Your thread title: Woot, a hottie back on the block, hardly lends itself to a discussion of her accomplishments and to think I would buy that line is an insult.
I would have thought something so obvious would have been self evident for someone that has been here since 2000, or for someone supposedly in charge.
It's not obvious to me. But I do sense some Moderator taunting going on. You'd be wise to read the Forum Guidelines on the subject.

"Here ya go gents, once again she's available."
"Don't forget, we know she's got a new cheerleader outfit."
Were you working your way up to a "discussion of will the coach continue to coach or what effect there may be following such a life altering event"?

The only Valid point that I can see that Lupi has was the perhaps Olds erred in thinking that it was evident to all why it was locked and did not leave a Mod note in the thread.
There is no rule against anyone making a fool out of themselves, and too bad there is no hard and fast rule about poor taste threads. That kind of stuff is just left up to Moderator discretion. There is, however, a SOP for questioning and disagreeing with Moderator actions. The first is to post here and ask, then if the answer is not acceptable, drop an email to moderator@anandtech.com for the rest of the Senior Moderators, then the admins to look at.
Member and Posting Guidelines
Do not use our Forums to post any material, or links to any material,
which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive,
hateful, harassing, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or
otherwise violative of any law.
We ask for respect and common decency towards your fellow forum
members. This includes adhering to the following guidelines which will
be enforced via a combination of member request and moderator
discretion.
1) No trolling, flaming or personally attacking members. Deftly
attacking ideas and backing up arguments with facts is acceptable and
encouraged. Attacking other members personally and purposefully causing
trouble with no motive other than to upset the crowd is not allowed.
2) No pornographic material is permitted. Material of a mature nature
is allowed on a limited basis ONLY in our Love and Relationships forum,
but we ask that members use care and discretion when posting sensitive
material. Offensive, objectifying, and overly explicit posts with little
or no substance will not be permitted.
3) No sharing or requesting pirated software. Discussions addressing
piracy are allowed, but using the Forums as a hub or a school for
pirates is not.
4) No posting of other's copyrighted material. Discussions of
copyright are becoming increasingly important, but we will not allow the
Forums to be used to violate any US law.
5) Spamming will not be permitted. On topic references to your
personal commercial matters are permitted on a limited basis and at
moderator discretion. Multiple quick nef posts, posts designed to
generate traffic to specific web sites, and flooding the Forums will not
be tolerated.
6) Foul language in topic titles and excessive foul language is not
permitted. With uncensored language comes an increased requirement for
responsibility among users. Moderator discretion applies.
7) Members must maintain a valid email address. We currently block
some email providers, and we will not allow members to use disposable
email accounts (designed to expire in a matter of hours or days).
8) Only one account is allowed per person. If you've been given a
vacation or a ban, do not create a new account. Instead, please discuss
the matter with our moderators via email at moderator@anandtech.com. We
have various ways to check if accounts were started by the same person.
We will also permaban new accounts based on strong circumstantial
evidence or the appearance that they may be secondary accounts.
9) Respect other users' privacy and do not post personal or private
information of any other user without their express permission. Also,
please be respectful of what other members share via Private
Message.
10) Post in the right forum. Topics posted where they don't belong
will be moved.
11) Respect individual forum specific rules. Some of our specialized
forums have additional guidelines posted within that are expected to be
understood and followed. This is especially important in our For
Sale/Trade, Want to Buy/Trade For, and Hot Deals forums.
12) Do not contact individual moderators. Please direct violations of
these guidelines to moderator@anandtech.com, AnandTech Moderator by PM
or post in Personal Forum Issues to request attention for something.
Please be patient with moderation requests and inquiries. Users found in
violation of this directive will be given only one warning and pointed
in the right direction before further action is taken.
13) Baiting moderators will not be tolerated. Any action that
reasonably can be considered baiting a moderator, or multiple
consecutive actions that heavily push the boundaries of any of these
guidelines will result in an instant short term vacation. Repeated
violation of this rule may result in a
permaban.
The tone of our Forums is expected to remain at least at a "basic
cable" level. This is just a general yardstick for users and moderators
to get an idea of what we expect. Content that crosses this line, as
interpreted by our moderators, will be subject to moderation.
