Yes, exactly. The reason is effectively a note to the mods, that only they (and not other members) can read. Providing it could be considered a courtesy, not a requirement.Newai said:
, and I don't want want anyone to read it. Can moderators read the deleted messages (or just see that there was a message there and the reason for deletion)? If yes, can I prevent them from doing so by first editing out the text (replacing it with the minimum 4 characters), save the changes, and then delete the message? Or is every edit saved?Unless we've already saved them.Redbelly98 said:

The reason for requiring a reason for deleting a message is to provide context and transparency. It allows for better communication and understanding between individuals and can help prevent confusion or misunderstandings.
There is no set format or criteria for giving a reason for deleting a message. However, it is important to be clear and concise in your explanation and to provide enough information for the recipient to understand the reason for deletion.
Yes, the reason for deleting a message can be changed or edited. This can be done by the person who initially deleted the message or by the recipient of the message. It is important to communicate any changes made to the reason for deletion to avoid confusion.
Some common reasons for deleting a message include sending the message to the wrong person, containing confidential or sensitive information, or containing errors or mistakes that need to be corrected.
It is not always necessary to give a reason for deleting a message. However, it is considered good communication etiquette to provide a reason whenever possible. This helps maintain clear and open communication and can prevent any potential misunderstandings.
