Plus it allows for achiving to be done without attribution, so someone could reveal a locked post anonymously. Now, most people are just not that into trolling, but the ease, speed, anonymity and permanence of the site allows for impulsive moments of trolling (or even accidental trolling by legit yet inept users of the service). More importantly, the sneaky way the LJ Drama people rolled this out, and their scornful arrogant response to questions, indicates they were in it to stir shit from the start. It's not like people had mountains of trust in LJ before, but they've managed to suck a little bit more of the fun out of it.
