I know for a fact that the train contest reminder was posted after the

Bionicle answers but cannot be sure.

SOMETHING happened but Todd hasn't said what. He may not feel it's relevant
exactly what incident it was, as it may (to him) have been more of an
example of a pattern rather than a seminal event.

Exactly.  The ultimate tipping point was the Bionicle thread on Thursday,
but the tipping point isn't really relevant.  Rather, it was a sudden
realization based on recent events (not the events themselves) that we'd
totally forgotten to put this filter into place back on day 1 when the
lego.* hierarchy was set up.  Until Thursday, I hadn't realized just how
much TLC official business was appearing outside of that area.  I'd noticed
a couple things here and there but it just didn't sink in.  Again, nothing
against Tomas or Jake; this was something that should have been set up a
year ago.

Thus, it was not our intention to make LEGO feel any less welcome, or to
limit its actions apart from what groups it can officially post in.  We also
fully intend to work with Brad and his people to find a solution for the
multiple identity issue so that those who wish to post in an unofficial, fan
capacity will be able to do so with greater ease.
