Right now you need the Access To Moderator Tools privilege (awarded at 10k on a regular site, 2k, on public beta, 1k on private beta) to access anonymous feedback on that site. I don't see why that is, and I often want to view this info on sites where I don't have the privilege. So I have to use ...
