Is this a good neutral place to spotlight poor moderation?
For example, my post to !asklemmy@lemmy.ml asked what is a decent client for Debian was removed (per rule #3). While at the same time this “What’s the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?” is not only not removed, it was actually started by the moderator themself, and stickied. So this is a case of a moderator /above the law/ breaking their own rules which they selectively enforce.
In principle there should be a record of this sort of conduct so users know which moderators to avoid (thus which communities to avoid).
It sucks, but they are kind of above the rules of their own community. They could easily edit the communities description and make an exception for themselves. Moderators aren’t above instance rules though, but admins are.
If moderators and admins broke their own rules often enough I’d expect people to leave those communities and instances.
Bingo. Exactly my point. Users need a mechanism to be informed.
There’s a problem with the mod logs: the censored post is scrubbed. If a post is merely off topic & not CSAM, the worst that should happen is removal from the timeline, not scrub it to the point that users looking at the modlog cannot see what was removed.
Moreover, users should be able to add notes to the modlog- perhaps in a separate “modmodlog”.
