I’ve always wanted to see a mod list that breaks down “local”. Like, you look at .worlds modlist from the main page, and it’s every mod action from every federate instance.

Yeah that'd be nice. Modlog has always left much to be desired. Although the core concept is great, it's not fleshed out enough to be as useful as it should be. Sometimes it can even be weaponized by rogue mods to slander certain users. Because when you ban someone, that mod action is permanent and you get to put whatever text you want as the ban reason.

It definitely needs work but I can understand other things taking priority, considering most users will never interact with the modlog anyway.

It's happened to me, I have gotten banned from communities just because I was banned from other communities, one of them even says "check the modlog"

I guess on the bright side at least it shows the text of the comments that got removed right there, and links directly to the thread. So people can easily verify for themselves whether they would agree with the ban or not. It's more of an annoyance than anything, they can put whatever reason they want for banning you, but they can't edit your comments or control the words you actually wrote down. So if you stand by what you wrote and others agree with your perspective, it just makes the mod look bad and they can also get removed for abusing mod powers.

In some ways, I think context also matters. For example, you can debate a topic theologically in a different manner to politically. So for example, "dancing is a sin in flaxifarianism, and we should hold to flaxifarian values within our temples" in a flaxifarianism community is different to saying "dancing should be politically outlawed" in a general community, or worse, one dedicated to dancing.

Yeah totally, but that's why it links to the threads with the full context if you click on the modlog
