Currently it blanks out the content ( IE the post title, etc ) when you go to a mod removed post, but you will still see the title in the modlog.

Should we continue to blank out mod removed posts and communities, or show their content when you go to them?

    I think it should be three-tiered: For mild rule breaking content, just delisting them might be fine and can add a layer of transparency. For more serious things like stuff praising Nazis and the like, it’s probably a good idea to at least not display it to the public. Same for spam since you don’t want the spammer to have any way of making their ad visible on your platform. Finally, for extreme and/or illegal content, there absolutely needs to be a way to permanently delete it from the server, both because it’s the decent thing to do and so instance admins don’t get in trouble.
