View submission: Deprecating community chat rooms
Do you think you could also now find a way to stop disgruntled users from hurling abusive private chat messages at mods? I know once a user is banned they can't see the mod list but even a simple post removal for breaking a rule can cause a steam of abuse directed at the mods.
Blocking users makes modding difficult and you can't mute abusers like you can in modmail.

Improved safety features will be part of our efforts as we are focusing on 1:1 chat and group chat. One of the reasons we decided to deprecate community chat is that we can better focus on issues like this.

Well, they could dm abuse anyway as of now, and I'd assume the gc would be linked to the subreddit.
Also, there's no way to tell which mod removed your content unless they personally tell you.
