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 tha…

Viewing emails is logged and requires a click on a button to display. Similarly export is logged. If you don’t trust your moderators, demote them to trust level 4 users.
