You're cheating: you know your username and can recall which of your comments were mod log entries.
Imagine creating such a log system in a company and expecting your colleagues to find such logs in such a manner. I'd move to get you fired.
- dang 5y agoThis feels like it's swerving into just the sort of litigious cross-examination that I describe in the comments I just took the time to dig up for you. My purpose in doing that was not to tell you "see? anybody can just go and find these". It was, rather: here is a set of past explanations about the question you're raising, which describe our thinking on this topic. If you want to understand why we don't do what you're suggesting, you'll probably find the answer there. On the other hand, if you have a specific point that I haven't answered in the past, I'd very much like to know what it is. The intention of all of those moderation comments, search links, etc., is to provide helpful information to people in specific contexts. Nobody's pretending that it's a global documentation system; no one's "cheating" or trying to fool anyone or trick people out of what is rightfully theirs. We're simply trying to answer people's questions and satisfy their curiosity while also staying focused on the overall purpose of the site.
