Looking at the modlog (which is public info, you just have to log on to the web ui and scroll down to the bottom).

@[email protected] from the community World [email protected] reason: Racism expires: in 27 days

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Didn't know that racism can expire.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I for one cannot wait for racism to expire.

It probably won't, but everyone needs an opportunity to learn. :)

Does it provide a link to the comment or its content? I get why it might not but I'm curious...

In this case, it does not. But if the comment was removed, there wouldn't be anything to link to anyway.

When a mod bans a user, there's a checkbox to remove content automatically, which makes sense, if it's bad enough to merit a ban, there's no way the comment stays.

If the comment itself were simply removed, you would see a copy paste of it in the modlog.

If you can't be a good example, you can still be a dire warning.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was the dot ML domain...
