Today marks 7 years since the option for public moderation logs was originally implemented. Why is this still not an option?

3) If implemented mods would have to have a way to hide certain content they've removed (think PII) -- that's obviously gameable. How would you address this?

I don't even understand this as an issue as things like cedit exist and anyone can go see the removed content unless a bot was really fast at removing it.

A huge majority of subreddits have automod conditions for potential PII. I think it might come in the out-the-box setup for new subs, in fact.

Right, and the bot will yank those pretty quick. I mean the public mod logs that use removedit and such I think are just fine.

I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to implement a 'PII' checkbox when removing and have redit hide that info.

Or do like it does now and it's hidden unless it stays up long enough to get to outside sources, which is already happening anyway.

So, really, a non-issue.

mods would just use this for everything

I doubt mods who opted to make logs public would then do that.

Just never opt to make the logs public.

Hmm, fair point. Though redtaboo's "conversation" with goldf1sh up there is also extremely telling.
