It's sort of an issue of making this forum good. OOT and BBV4L and PU would be infinitely worse if people didn't feel free to express themselves and talk about subjects they wouldn't be comfortable with their families or coworkers knowing they discussed.
I believe they removed the ability of all mods to do IP searches for exactly what threat Bruce is making. It's a liability to have an all volunteer mod team that had access to private information of your customers/content providers, because don't forget, we are all content providers here.
The insanely popular 4L thread of posting pics of Olympic females probably wouldn't have happened if the original poster thought it'd get around to their boss what they did in their free time. However, thanks to anonymity, 2+2 gained a wildly successful thread that generated massive clicks and searches from google.
