What would Efnet lose by redacting the name of the operator themselves before doing it? They still show timestamped logs, and [operator redacted]@ef.net would be enough to note that an operator reported the issue.
If the log included chat between the malicious user and the operator, the malicious user __already knows__ the operator's nick, so there's no additional information. If the log doesn't include that, then what reason is there to include the nickname of the operator?
Rather than expecting Someone Else to sanitize our information (which fields do you feel are critical to redact? real name? phone number? IP? zodiac sign? Made-up-nickname?), it seems like it's a good idea to proactively redact the information ourself before making that abuse report.
