This has been bugging me for a while, and I don’t know where else to really ask (this feels like the best place for this specific question); but how do you know what mod did what in the modlog? I’ve rarely ever seen the modlog actually state what mod/admin performed the action. Can get the user of the comment and even the undeleted text of their comment if it’s a comment removal; does not show the mod/admin who actually handled it.
Just noticed a comment was removed for “not crossing the line but close to violating the TOS” and I wanna talk to whoever pulled that dumbass shit. I don’t think it’s a power trip to make a “report” about it here, I just wanna know what the fuck kind of stupid bullshit reasoning that is and the modlog does not show who the moderator that removed it was.
Nothing like getting a speeding ticket for going 44mph in a 45 because you came close to breaking the law.
Also it’s indisputable, also you’re banned forever from driving on that road you helped build.
FWIW the names are often intentionally hidden through a setting in the Lemmy admin panel.
Pretty sure it’s a server default so I’m not sure it’s always intentional. It was just configured that way when they set up their server.
On the web browser you can filter by mod, which is useful if there are like two mods for a community (or one really active mod that you are already aware of) but not very helpful when there are very many as it becomes very tedious.
My guess is they didn’t want to make it easy to see who modded each action to avoid the general log being treated as personal actions instead of a list of things that happened. They probably added in a filter so one could see the actions of a mod kind of like the filter by user.
I would love one additional filter for community.
These communities are quickly moving twoards an automod system where there is no accountability.
This is a lazy practice ported over from reddit and will do nothing but harm the fediverse.
