Audit log is visible to everyone

Not sure if it's wanted but currently the audit log is visible to everyone under the Extras navigation point.

As I understand the data, it is simply a list of banned users.
Misleading title nevertheless.

Well, the menu point is called Audit log. I didn't made that name up.

It is intentional. When we first pitched the idea of the site, having a publicly viewable 'Audit Log' of users who were banned was something that we proposed. These are often seen in community discord servers, and allows the community to question the actions we make as a moderation team, and form a discussion around it if they feel like the action was unfairly justified.
You can see the discussion around the topic from earlier in December on the discord server, here: https://discord.com/channels/986029592164855818/1013249017033011343/1050522062608937021

Yes. And as I said:

Transparency was one of the main concerns and per sè "demands" we had, for the new Forum. They were kind enough to comply and as far as i remember. They also agreed on making such feature available because they too wanted it.

Maybe we’ll add more insights to the audit log such as general mod actions, but that’s for the future.

A nice little touch towards full transparency. I like it.
