Let me help you with your job. Here are three examples of removed items all pertaining to the same game. Is that a complete overview? No, far from it. But it does serve as a nice example of something fishy going on, since it all pertains to the same game.

At this location, you should find a question about why the executable is asking for additional admin permissions while installed inside a sandbox. Nothing more, nothing less. Yet it is not there…

In this topic, before null’s post, you should find a post showing scan results marking that same games executables as potential malware. Note how I made clear that I am not sure that it is malware, only that the program behaves unexpectedly, shows up as a bad actor in both Norton and MalwareBytes, and is too big to upload to VirusTotal. This post is also mysteriously missing.

Finally, my review of that game went missing, in which I pointed out the above hurdles in getting it installed. This also got removed, rating and all.

Assuming there is nothing wrong with the executable, that is all well and good, because you do not want to alarm people unnecessarily. But wouldn’t it make more sense to reply dispelling doubt. Or if you delete it, to at least respond to my report. But no… And so it goes frequently in my short time here. Not a promising experience. Combined with your blasé arrogance, very off-putting, in fact.

Right. The first link points at a game's comments. We don't moderate those; creators do. You'll have to take it up with them. As for the second link, someone reported a post in that topic for unjustly accusing them of spreading malware. I didn't handle that report. Guess one of my colleagues was more firm. Speaking of which, null is right: you should report a game through the proper channel if there's a problem with it.

Either way, I see you continue to insult the stuff with every post you make. That can only make everyone less and less inclined to side with you.

Well, if your job is so loathesome to you, better get back on the dole, hadn’t you? Or perhaps learn a real trade? Or simply manners?

So what you are telling me, is that you do not keep a log of the moderation creators apply? That is a recipe for disaster. Worse still, you do not keep logs of what your fellow moderators have done, such as deleting a post for false flags? Worse and worse.

I don't know if there is a moderation log for game comments. I said we don't moderate those. For the community we do have a log that preserves all moderation actions. It's just that not all entries record the name of the affected user. Please pay attention. Not that we're under any obligation to keep any kind of logs, or review them.

Article 5 of the GDPR actually would seem to suggest you are accountable for any content you host and any decision as to its moderation. Would this not require some form of logging?

Is there any user identifying information whatsoever stored in the community log, that would link post on which actions are performed to the user who originally made them?

Null may be right about the appropriate procedure of reporting, however he is not right in removing selectively my comment but not Dr-Flay’s for doing the same thing.

I did say, twice now, that moderation logs record who performed the action. Not always who made the affected post. And other users haven't been causing a disturbance. You have.

Speaking of which: seeing how you seem intent on telling us how to do our jobs, I'm going to do just that and put an end to this farce. Have a good day.
