I’d like to see the option to have moderator actions viewable to the general public, perhaps for the last 100 days as it affects trust level promotions , if these are on a users profile page it may deter or correct user behavior
So you want other users to see how many warnings or suspensions etc another user has had and display this information publicly on their profile. I’ve given my opinion on a similar matter before
Instead of shaming (if that’s the right word?) users, ask your moderators to take action on users causing problems and deal with them accordingly.

This request comes from my opinion moderators should be transparent in their decision making, and is for a plug-in, not core feature.

And by transparent you mean showing everyone if there has been some dicipline actions? That’s not transparency.

Instead of a plugin; I would imagine you could maybe use a data explorer inquiry.
However if it shows members name who have had mod actions against them. Some may feel uncomfortable being centered out.
Imho transparency of mod actions could be in a monthly Announcement topic.
Ie
Topic Title: 2024 Moderator Actions Report
Post #1
This topic provides a Monthly report of Moderator Actions. This report does not identify members who have required moderation.
Post #2
January 2024
Suspensions (2)
- Permanent (1)
- Continued personal attacks after 3 warnings.
- Temporary (1)
- 3 days for uttering threats.
Warnings (3)
- Off Topic
- Issued after several members Flagged a post.
- Off Topic
- posting topics in the wrong category
- Spamming
- Created several duplicate or similar topics
Total Moderators actions= 5
Next post would be February 2024 summary of mod actions as above
Having a private category for Moderators to report Moderation required actions can make gathering this info easier to gather & craft the report to publish.
The report should avoid identifying the mod or member involved in the moderator action report imho.

Good thought put into this, nice start 
My thinking comes from a belief users may need an advocate or ombudsman if they have been unfairly treated by a moderator.
If there existed a mechanism for moderation reports like you’ve suggested or like law enforcement does with each arrest it may held assure people are treated fairly and with respect.
Place yourself in a situation where you believe you’ve been treated unfair and the moderator is it, they are the big boss, you have no one to go to and explain that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.
So data explorer could , staff action logs, seems the mechanics may already exist people just need to understand the idea is to allow public viewing, public enforcement, why has a user been locked at TL1 for three years?
Ohh, we can look at the report right here on their public profile, they’ve had these actions taken against them, they all look reasonably fair too, nothing to see move along.
Or, in the same situation that user has been locked unfairly as a moderator enjoys their authority to much, time to now flag the moderator.
This suggestion does not arise out of nowhere, there’s a need, question is does anyone care if they’re not the ones being treated unfairly?
과거의 조치를 평가하기 위해 사용자 프로필로 이동해야 하면, 누락된 사항이나 잠재적인 실수를 찾기 더 어려워질 수 있습니다.
Discourse는 많은 도구를 활용할 수 있는 매우 견고한 플랫폼입니다.
신뢰 수준 잠금 자체는 시간 기반 옵션을 통해 조치가 완료되고 사용자 액세스가 복원되는 Silence(무음)와 Suspend(정지)만큼 견고하지 않습니다.
핵심에서 사용할 수 있는 도구.
관리 절차:
- Staff와 같은 비공개 카테고리를 만들거나 특수 카테고리를 생성합니다(태그도 사용할 수 있음).
위에서 결정된 시간이 지난 후 신뢰 수준을 복원/잠금 해제하기 위해 조치가 필요함을 알리는 예약된 게시물을 사용하십시오. 이는 사용자의 행동이 개선되었는지를 재평가하기 위한 것일 수도 있습니다.
개인 관리자는 자신을 상기시키기 위해 북마크를 사용할 수도 있습니다.
개인적 의견으로는, 이 둘 모두를 내부 메커니즘으로 사용해야 합니다. 첫 번째는 모든 관리자가 사이트 조정 운영에 참여하도록 유지합니다.
플러그인 사용자 노트를 추가하면, 관리자/관리자가 게시물에서 보고 열어서 볼 수 있는 사용자에게 연결된 조정 노트를 가질 수 있습니다. 이는 모든 무음, 정지를 표시합니다. 그리고 관리자는 경고와 같은 사용자 정의 노트를 추가할 수 있습니다. 이는 관리자 스태프 카테고리와 결합된 훌륭한 보조 기능으로, 견고한 시스템을 만들 수 있습니다.
캘린더 앱 또는 플러그인도 재방문 및 검토를 위한 알림 시스템으로 사용할 수 있습니다.
너무 긴 기간 동안 잠금 처리된 것으로 보이는 사용자는 단순히 실수이거나 그럴 만한 이유가 있을 수 있습니다.
신뢰 수준 잠금에 시간 지속 옵션을 추가하기 위한 Contribute > Feature 요청을 할 수 있고/또는 사람들이 이 기능을 더 빨리 원한다면 Marketplace 요청을 통해 #customization:plugin을 후원할 수 있습니다.
관리자 팀은 모든 구성원이 같은 이해를 공유하도록 보장하기 위해 조치와 절차를 검토하기 위한 정기적인 커뮤니케이션 회의를 가져야 합니다.
위원회 구조를 사용하는 것은 좋은 아이디어입니다. 규칙을 위반한 구성원은 관리자 팀 내에서 논의되어야 하며, 예를 들어 영구 정지가 정당화되는지 여부를 결정해야 합니다. "징계"를 위한 단계적 시스템을 갖는 것도 좋습니다. 구성원들에게 정적인 예시를 통해 설명된 단계적 시스템은 구성원들의 명확성을 도울 수 있습니다.

Pretty impressive input for such a new topic
That’s good, with the existence of flags it would seem that a flag would first need to be triggered to start the process, then evaluated by a moderator as a third party to evaluate, it the flag is skipped and a moderator elects to make a judgment call that may indicate the action was not offensive in the first place.
I previously had a user complain about off topic comments, so a policy was put in place that the original poster could put a “do not derail” notice in their thread
That policy was intended to pacify both, people who like a clean topic and those who like to see where a topic might go
Either can create a thread, the populous then gravitated accordingly
It turned out not to ever be used, people in general were not so offended by off topic comments
But if the TOS are no off topic comments, then not enforced equally and constantly , only selectively and only by moderation, then the true consensus of the community is not accurately represented.
But if again, some don’t like their topics commented on off topic then perhaps a small standard group of check boxes could be placed in the head of any topic, this free’s moderators and empowers the original poster
This itself could be deemed off topic, the topic is about viewing moderator actions, but you did great bringing up tools to help moderate, I personally think the people are the best tool, they flag what they don’t like, that can be abused too, I just believe if the system is more transparent it will also be more natural, clean is not always best, penicillin was discovered by accident, one of the biggest advances of modern medicine, if we allow unchecked moderation we may miss our next
advancement, someone somewhere else may achieve it too and propel a new system, FB took over Myspace without much effort, just enough to make people happy.

Here is something you may like. I prefer using a “self moderation” model. The ToS are a base line. Along with the FAQ. A team needs to extend that say with a
Code Of Conduct
-Draft-
Topic Threads:
Op Responsabilities
1) Put care into creating Topics. ie no Trainwrecks or Topics designed to conduct attacks against individuals or organisations.
2) As the owner your topic; help keep your topic on track. If a member(s) goes off topic be polite and remind them of your topic’s purpose. If the member(s) continues to disrespect your topic request moderator involvement. ie Flag Post &/or direct message a moderator @heliosurge with link to off topic post(s) & name(s) of offenders. Now be fair & try to give them 2 chances to “get on topic”.
Topic Participants Responsibilities:
1) Respect the Op’s Topic & each other. Help the Op by offering a polite reminder to others when off topic.
2) Debate issues not people or organisations. Avoid accusations, insults, personal attacks. Debates can get heated which is fine but know your limits and take a break when needed.
Our forum has 4 tiers of Leadership:
XRtropolis.one
- Site Admin (Top Level)
- Site Full Moderator
- Category Moderator Leader (TL4)
- Category Moderator
Site Admin & Full Moderators
Can perform Sitewide Silences & Bans.
Category Moderator Leader
Are divided into 2 main groups. XRtropolis.one and Sponsors. Leaders are often Head Category Mod group Owners. They manage there mod group and if a Sponsor Category Mod may also be owner of a Sponsor’s community group and can kick a member out of their community temporarily or permanently(Pocket Comnunity’s discretion). Category Mods primarily manage flags in their respected categories. They can request Admin & Full Moderator for support if needed.
Category Moderator
Are divided into 2 main groups. XRtropolis.one and Pocket Communities(Category Mods). Category Mods primarily manage flags in their respected(owned) categories. They can request Admin &/or Full site Moderator for support.
Admin, Moderators & Category Mods
- Give members a friendly reminder for those off topic
- Admin, Full Moderators and Category Mod(Leader) Edit/Delete Posts that contain accusations, insults, personal attacks & offer a friendly reminder to respect one another. Take a screenshot of offence in case of dispute.
- Category Mods if you need support check Who’s Online and use Chat/DM to Admin\Full Moderator.
Respect a Pocket Communities’’ Categories
- You must respect XRtropolis.one Rules as well as the Pocket Communities’ rules. If you break their rules they can kick you from their community.
The above is my current revision to modifying a “Self Moderation” model. In the forum I assist a company with as an admin/mod. I drafted the original as “Community Guidelines”.
Please feel free to provide feedback. If you feel this should be in a DM to keep things focused here maybe best.
As for maybe being off topic. It could indeed be considered as such or an evolution of the topic on how to achieve transparency in a positive way utilizing existing tools and implement administrative policies & procedures.
Not too long ago a Plugin Author has created a pretty cool option to give a topic Author greater control in a given category.
Categories for the most part should have a scope of what is considered the intended purpose.
A “Free for all” category can be a good place to send things that don’t fit with a more relaxed moderation with fairly standard site wide rules being followed.

Transparency in moderation can be a good thing in some contexts I would agree, but can depend. Some mod actions are already publicly visible in when posts are edited those revisions and the reasons for the revisions can be either posted or concealed at moderator’s discretion.
To show integrity of the moderation process it could mean a lot to have some records of that reviewable by the public. Especially if moderators are not site administrators, and the administrators are moderated by the same process as everyone else.
