I was a lurker on the subreddit and discord, and I've been watching the modlogs, and it looks like you've been banning people based on their usernames when they make one post, if they were banned in the discord? What's the deal with that? were they chuds?

    That could be improved I guess. It's a fine line between leaving content up and removing that content.

        That's the issue though right? Should content that is removed for being a liability still be accessible? I think ultimately it's better to err on the side of things being a little less open than leaving things up.

          There's two places where that problem requires hard censorship in my experience: CP and doxxing. That shit should never be left up. Otherwise the only issue I have with mod logs is that it results in people second-guessing dumb drama and other bullshit shit that's better left forgotten, so it generates a constant churning meta conversation that is mostly (but not always) unhelpful and which frequently quickens bad feelings. That's a problem that can be mitigated however, it just means more work for the mods, in the form of explaining the same thing over and over again to anyone who thinks something looks sketchy.
