| Oct 27, 2021 at 17:25 | comment | added | ColleenV | @NicolasChabanovsky Compiling public information does change its impact though. For example, who contributed to a politician's campaign is public information in the US, but publishing a list of everyone who contributed to a particular candidate or all the candidates a particular person contributed to isn't the same thing as that information sitting in a database somewhere waiting for the curious to search for it. I'm not asserting that publishing the list is good or bad; just objecting to the idea that compiling a list of public info doesn't significantly transform it. | |

| Oct 27, 2021 at 16:55 | comment | added | Makoto | If that relationship is strained or damaged @NicolasChabanovsky, then there's a lot of reason for a former moderator to not want to appear on the page. There are two sides to this. Please patiently consider both. | |
| Oct 27, 2021 at 16:43 | comment | added | Nicolas Chabanovsky StaffMod | We expect that moderators would like to be listed on that page because it represents their contribution and relationships with the community. There are a few very unique situations when one might want to opt out. We keep this option for them. The Former Moderators page is based on already (i.e. right now!) publicly available data. Please note that there is no way to opt out of the Current Moderators page. Or from the Users page. The Former Moderators page is not very different from these. | |
| Oct 27, 2021 at 15:45 | comment | added | ColleenV | I would much rather see a profile-based approach than a list that needs to be maintained. I'm not opposed to a checkbox a user can set/unset to feature past moderator status in some way that is consistent among all former mods. | |
