I think the action of the moderator is fine in relation to the particular thread. The moderator concerned started that thread himself as a servive to Kindle Owners. There is a vary good argument that this particular thread has one over-riding purpose. To ascertain Amazon's policy on access to materials after closure by Amazon of the account. The moderators emails to Amazon are obviously relevant, as are any replies from Amazon, which go to the heart of that thread. Also relevant are people's experiences with closed accounts, relevant links etc. What is much less relevant is Amazon's reasons for closing accounts, or speculation with little or no factual basis. In my experience most threads are not strictly moderated for relevance, and I do not think this is a bad thing.
However, in the context of this thread, I for one think it should be strictly limited to the most relevant posts. Quite frankly, I for one would like to read the strictly relevant material in this particular thread without reading through pages and pages of much less relevant material. And there is no harm done! There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone opening a thread to discuss wider issues, including Amazon's reasons for closing accounts.
