View submission: Mod Log Updates: Adding visibility into NSFW tagging, abuse removals, and appeals & approvals

I agree elsewhere that there's a problem here- there's nothing that indicates these actions were completed automatically. How would a mod know this is an automated removal, as opposed to a manual removal by a human admin? It's not that someone couldn't figure it out (probably), but it's not made clear in an effective way.

I know that, in the event my judgement differs from whatever or whoever removed a piece of content, I'm more likely to defer to that judgment if I know a human saw it, and would be more likely to want a second look if it was automated, because no automated system could have the ability to get all of the subtlety and nuance of a comment/post in the way a human can.

Could you add information in either the user column or the action column to indicate that an action was done by an automated system? I.e. the user could be displayed as "reddit(automated)" instead of just "reddit"?

That’s a great suggestion. I will check with the team on this.
