After months of work, there is now a new complete C++ API for SkyOS, which replaces the old C API. The C++ API consists of more than 150 classes, including support for thread and process information, full GUI support, and gesture support, to name a few. Additionally, news about the LiveCD and some of the technology behind it has been updated, including a few screenshots of the LiveCD in action.

Then I am missing something, because till today I had always been able to mod up a post with a -5, and I did it quite often.
Not all of them. There are MANY locked posts, and like I said, the algorithm means most of them were locked by the system, not an admin. If you want to discuss, please open a "conversation" on v4 beta and we can continue this. I don't want to have a major subthread in this SkyOS article.

There's no issue, AP. When certain posts are modded to -5, they get *automatically* locked (most of the time, it doesn't even take an admin to autolock a post, the system knows when a comment is that bad based on certain factors). It's always been that way, and it that certainly doesn't make a mockery of anything.
This is, and always has been, an admin controlled site. So, although we allow our readers to do 95%+ of the moderation, some comments we intentionally lock down. And in those cases, I don't think we need to justify our actions.
That said, I'll remind you, it's been this way for 3 years now, and no one has complained because it wasn't transparent. If it's only a problem now that we've shared more of how the site works, that's certainly a convincing reason to lock it down further and keep our readers in the dark.
