Besides the reversed bans there have been quite a few bans in the last day. I'm not here trying to judge whether or not it is right to ban those people or if they deserved it - but I'm having a hard time finding the offending material for which they were banned for.
The latest ban by @srayzie is how a modlog should be conducted. It has the direct link to the reason that user was banned. The ban reason for that Tommy guy right before however has the following inputted reason: "Rule Violation: Illegal; Description: threatening to produce/proliferate child pornography"
I looked through his comments, removed comments for the sub, removed submissions, and the banned user's profile and could not find the offending material. He may have deleted it himself or it might still be out there and I just missed it, but the point i'm trying to make is that the mod log could be better. Simply take a screencap of the offending material and include it with the ban reason.
That way, when some people who you say are trying to troll you end up accusing you of mass censorship anyone can take a look at the modlog and immediately see the reason the person was banned with proof.
