Draft: [Feature] Moderation/Audit Logs

Core Purpose

Provide audit/moderation logs giving a revision/action/event history across all public content across the site. Including posts, users, comments, and images.

Logic

API

• Log events, the causer, subject, and any relevant details, ie: old->new values, in what facility was the action performed as (admin, mod, etc).
• Only Admins/Mods have ability to view audit logs.

UI

• View audit logs of content in a community, showing history for it, and the actions/things done on it.
• When performing action on content (lock, pin, unpin, etc) provide a notes field plus a rule drop-down that is recorded in the notes on a separate line like `rule:11`

Admin/Mod Suggestions

• Reason for event, possibly dropdown tied to site/sub rules. I think that was useful when I modded Reddit.
  • okay, so if action is from mod/admin give the ability to have a note basically plus the rule/s correlated to X event and reason
• Having that would be amazing imo, really helps mitigate confusion on actions taken , especially if your project has several folks pushing similar buttons. Re the details, could make a case for both a drop down option (so data can be consistent/compiled for analytics latwe) with things like "content edit for clarity/typos/whatever", "comment removed" (with drop down required to note why), "user warned" (dropdown to cite rule), "user banned" (dropdown) Same time free form would cover all use cases v catch 90% using the above examples, but if some drama/difficult user tracking situation arise, way harder to follow along where the issue began with free flow text that isn't a standardized message. Maybe Details and and optional misc notes in free form too would cover that info gap?
