| Nov 15, 2023 at 19:25 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | @MetaAndrewT. I would be opposed to that. Community's profile is utter nonsense, but it's a safe-ish place to play with mod tools without accidentally peeking at someone's PII. (I get to see some IP addresses that haven't been used in years, an email address that just goes to the CMs, and a whole lot of "wizzwizz4 looked at Community's PII" audit records.) There's no real upside to special-casing it, in my book. | |
| Nov 15, 2023 at 15:24 | comment | added | Meta Andrew T. | I guess a low-priority-but-better solution is to just special case the profile page for user -1 (Community bot) so that mods only see useful things... | |
| Nov 15, 2023 at 15:18 | comment | added | Catija | @Nofate I'm not quite sure how your comment relates to the question asked... even if your example occurs, changing this site setting has no impact on anything. Actual security issues are separate from bugs like this. Changing the Community user's view mode would only impact someone logged in as the Community user (assuming the setting is even saved) and as far as I'm aware, no one logs in as Community. It's not even clear if that's possible. | |

| Nov 15, 2023 at 14:57 | comment | added | Nofate | "a CM politely asked me to just not do that." — if some malefactors steal a moderator's account, they will not be bound by politeness and moderator agreements. | |
| Nov 15, 2023 at 14:48 | comment | added | αλεχολυτ | @wizzwizz4 I hope that Community user will do their work better in high contrast mode. | |
| Nov 15, 2023 at 14:07 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | This is a case of “why would you want to do that?”. The edge-cases of moderator tools are buggy: that's because the edge-cases of moderator tools include things like “isn't actually a real account” and “bypass all permissions checks”. (Last time I discovered something like this – something about buggy locks if you added a load of post notices at once –, a CM politely asked me to just not do that.) | |
