So you want criticism silenced? You want bad behavior by admins covered up with lies, and you are trying to use the civility defense with a "think of the volunteers" line of reasoning? I think you are emotionally mixing up at least three separate people and making judgments against them all. I also think you are a liar based on how you accuse me of creating a harrassing troll account when I was very clear about not being the creator, but you insist that I am and somehow not giving you straight answers.
To me this just shows you are a stodgy jerk, or actually one of the trolls playing more sock puppet games. Most of my complaints would stop if the site updated the privacy information and explained clearly what staff are able to access. Do you think every user is aware that using the checkbox for "post as AC" still ties their comment to their username in perpetuity? And other misleading bits. Why do they refuse?
Heh, just realized as a lowly AC I am just posting words but you are the one taking all the bullying actions because you don't like my content. The correct moderations are offtopic or troll, that is what staff always said about other offtopic repetitive garbage.
I hope you are just a jerk and not apk using another sock puppet to push a narrative game. With a username like dalek chances of you being evil seem high!
PS: you should stop whinging about SN, makes your brain shrink. Me? Just giving constructive feedback and responding to whingey questions.

I have no sock puppets. I acknowledged creating an account prior to the dalek account, using the sarcastic name realDonaldTroll. I haven't logged into it since months before I created this account, though I don't remember how long it's been. I don't remember the password, nor do I even remember what email address I used to sign up. I will not use that account in the future.
You've probably seen my comment about helping to edit stories. This evening, I unchecked the "willing to moderate" box, because if I'm going to be a staff member, it avoids the appearance that I have any moderator power to misuse. When I unchecked that box this evening, my 10 mod points disappeared.
Of course, I have no way to prove any of this to you other than giving you my word.
As I said, my issue is not with the content of your messages but with your methods. I disagree with posting off-topic comments repeatedly, which interferes with attempts to have on-topic discussion. That's what happens in polls and quite a few journals.
A lot of the privacy decisions are influenced by the design of Rehash. The IP hashes were a design decision made ~20 years ago by Rob Malda. A lot of the things you disagree with actually predate Rehash by over a decade. When there were Perl programmers on the staff, there were many other priorities that had to be addressed just to keep Rehash running. From reading over the comments, it looks like Rehash is going to be replaced. If you don't like the privacy decisions in Rehash, join in the discussions about the future of the site and encourage different privacy practices in the future. You might need to create an account, but your thoughts would be on-topic instead of disrupting other discussions. That would be a positive action that could affect real change.
Why not join in the discussions where this would be on-topic and express your views on improving privacy?

Dalek is starting to be really annoying. Is there some way, I dunno, we could, exterminate?
