This is… insane.

In any forum, moderators can see the emails of users and even less the possibility of exporting them and downloading them to a csv file.

This is a huge security hole. While promoting someone as a moderator means that you have confidence in that person, but it is crazy to think that that person can have access to a list of users with data and even that you can download them.
