I wrote a tool that scrapes HN and detects moderator activity (and provides interesting stats in general). Sounds great! It might be good to distinguish between "moderator activity" (which to me implies that a human reads and makes a decision) and "moderation activity" (which covers automatic adjustments such as the frequently faulty "flame detection algorithm"). If there's interest, I can put this back up and start pruning old data so it's more maintainable. Yes, I think it would be very useful to have this available.

It might be good to distinguish between "moderator activity" (which to me implies that a human reads and makes a decision) and "moderation activity" (which covers automatic adjustments such as the frequently faulty "flame detection algorithm"). Unfortunately this information isn't made available. More analysis of the data is necessary to identify trends that can be used to distingish these.
