Need community feedback on this issue: Should posts / communities be blanked out after being removed? (github.com)

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?

My mistake, I misunderstood and thought purge was already present.

I think my tendency would be to consider there to be about 3 categories of content. In parentheses is the result that I would probably go with when classifying the content in that category.

Rule Violation (can be viewed upon click)
Reprehensible (cannot be viewed)
Banned/Illegal (purged from the DB)

Clearly banned/illegal or reprehensible content would also be rule violations in most cases, so I more mean that rule violation is the minimum category to be moderated and that a rule violation isn't excluded from the other categories, etc.
