| Jul 22, 2019 at 13:48 | comment | added | Taryn Staff | @Mari-LouA Moderators have the ability to edit comments which they would do on rare occasions, but the ability to redact does not exist outside of the post. Deleted comments are still visible to other mods/staff and they can also see the revision history of an edited comment, so there is no hard delete with comments. | |
| Jul 22, 2019 at 6:49 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | Does this ability also transfer to comments? In other words, could a mod redact ("destroy") a user's comment or their own? If someone claims that a mod was abusive/rude, but the conversation was subsequently deleted, would it still be visible to other mods and to the team? Could a mod hard delete a brief diatribe? I suspect they cannot but I'd like a confirmation, please. | |

| Apr 7, 2016 at 20:41 | comment | added | Taryn Staff | @Iszi The problem with hiding it immediately is that it's pretty much the same as not having another moderator review it. By forcing another moderator to review the change, we're making sure there is some community oversight. However, if the content is really awful and shouldn't be seen until the redaction is complete, then the mod could delete the post until final approval as directed here. | |
| Apr 7, 2016 at 20:09 | comment | added | Iszi | Can/should non-moderators see the redacted content while the flag is being reviewed? Given that only moderators can take this action to begin with, and that it's generally done for the users' protection, I would think the best course is for the redaction to appear effective immediately to non-moderators even if it's ultimately temporary (i.e.: flag rejected). | |

| Feb 7, 2016 at 17:37 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | Agreed with @rene - there should be an indicator of tampering with the history for the users to see, and a log for CMs to review. | |
