Currently it blanks out the content ( IE the post title, etc ) when you go to a mod removed post, but you will still see the title in the modlog.
Should we continue to blank out mod removed posts and communities, or show their content when you go to them?
Given that purge exists, it seems like showing the content when you go to them makes sense.
The only other idea I have is implementing a click to reveal, but that seems like overkill to me.
Purge ( IE full database delete ) doesn’t exist yet, but I’ve been working on it recently.
The danger with showing mod-removed content is that it still might not be a good thing to allow people to access it. IE lets say a post has a bunch of racist ranting, and a mod removes it. Currently that’s being blanked out if you go to that post.
My mistake, I misunderstood and thought purge was already present.
I think my tendency would be to consider there to be about 3 categories of content. In parentheses is the result that I would probably go with when classifying the content in that category.
Clearly banned/illegal or reprehensible content would also be rule violations in most cases, so I more mean that rule violation is the minimum category to be moderated and that a rule violation isn’t excluded from the other categories, etc.
