I am not sure whether it is a good idea, but Voat has a “comment modlog” feature.

https://voat .co/v/technology/about/log/comment

It provides transparency to users to see which kinds of comments the moderators delete, but I am not sure how Voat handles comments that should be entirely deleted due to personal information.

This is just some food for thought.

Yeah I'd avoid this one on the basis of making sure people can delete things they didn't mean or personal info kind of a thing. What if you called someone an asshole and didn't want a record of that becuase you didn't really mean it?

Agreed. I am not sure how Voat handles it.

But that Voat modlog only contains comments deleted by moderators, not by the users themselves.

Yeah but if I as an admin remove something for personal information I wouldn't want that info to still be public as thats why I removed it. Which is pretty much the only time I've removed anything other than blatant spam.

Only comments deleted by mods/admins are logged.

Self-deleting comments/posts isn't logged.

But on Voat, the content of moderator-deleted comments is actually visible in the log, presumably for providing transparency about subverse moderation quality.

Makes me wonder how Voat handles comments with personal information.

This is a bad idea (doxxing or illegal ToS breaking content).

Yes, didn't seem so good to me too.

Why does Voat do it then?
