Typo
  • ## Keep it simple
  • To keep things simple, deleted community users should not show up for anyone on the "All Communities" tab. For global moderators and global admins, separate tools can be made for tracking deleted community users, rather than trying to force the "All Communities" tab to serve an additional purpose.
  • ## Separation of private information
  • In addition to keeping the code for the "All Communities" tab simple, this also avoid moderators and admins having to remember which information is supposed to be kept private. This way a moderator can share a screenshot of the "All Communities" tab without worrying that it might divulge information not intended to be available to users. If the moderator wants to view deleted community users, they have to go to a specific moderator only page, which they therefore have no doubt should never be shared with users.
