Mods frequently include data in their messages not related to them in their private discussions. A moderator should not be able to receive a dump of all data about other people they've ever posted in those rooms, especially if they are no longer a moderator (which is why sent mod messages are excluded for mods as well). But that sounds like something that should be easily solvable by just excluding chat rooms marked as "mod-only" from the export. | |
