The concept of hiding anything from the gods is superficial. There are only two things keeping the gods from being truely all powerful and all knowing. The first is technical feasibility. The second is their own judgement.

In this case, it's perfectly technicaly feasable to figure out who wrote that node: we log IPs. It obviously was not against tye's judgement to see who wrote the node, and it wouldn't be against mine either, if the purpose was to provide them with useful information (which it was).
