I agree on that, whoever implemented such moderation rule, especially for
a thread about the next CC vote, should have their access to be able to do
this revoked immediately as this is a clear abuse of admin powers.

(Even if the current CC had decided to do this, this is something that HAS
to be transparently communicated at the very least.)
