https://lobste.rs/moderations now shows all moderator actions when editing stories or deleting comments. If users ever have to be banned, those will be shown there as well.
As I stated in my original motivations for creating this site, I wanted moderator transparency as far as who is a moderator and what actions have been taken.
Great job, that bolsters my trust in this site quite a bit.
It’s good to know that a news source can be trusted to at least be transparent about its rules and how they’re enforced.

It is now implemented. You’ll see the summary in the byline if it has any downvotes.
Well done, glad to see lobsters taking shape. This is a really interesting take on moderating internet communities – I don’t think I’ve ever seen the moderator log collected like this. Any further news on moderators (who they’ll be, what they’ll do, etc) or is it just a solo thing for now?
I’m so excited about this. Reddit has a similar feature, but there isn’t a way to make it public. I think this transparency will help keep the community healthy.
Some subreddits have gotten around this: http://transparency.dbzer0.com/modlog/anarchism/
Is there a list of moderators?
