If someone's post is deleted, and the modlogs don't specify who performed the action (instead it is a generic name like "admin"), how can the user discuss that deletion if they have a rationale for why it should not have been deleted?

I’m sure you had no intention of drawing out people’s names for nefarious purposes, but folks will often volunteer them, unaware of the potential consequences. It’s easier for determined actors to stitch bits of information together than most people think, and there are more vulnerable people on this platform than some may realize.

Okay, doing more research; I now understand what the unintended consequences of the question were, so thank you for the explanation.
