[Long Term] New Channel Types

I appreciate you taking the time to understand my position and my reasoning better and I'm glad to be talking to a fellow visionary, so hi! As you probably might've read from that conversation, I am intending on owning large community servers and not those small 10-20 member friend servers where you can trust everyone. Part of moderation of larger servers involves keeping around evidence to support kicks, mutes or bans that are given to users. This is especially useful when the user attempts to appeal and claims they did nothing wrong. They could appeal immediately, or maybe even years later. If the evidence is deleted because the moderator who logged the evidence has deleted ALL their messages via the Privacy Dashboard, then there's no longer a valid record to keep the punishment in place. As a result, I'd realistically have 2 options: unban the user, or keep them banned "just because". How do you think it looks if you can't back up your accusation (the 'accusation' being the reason you banned the user in the first place)? I err on the side of bureaucracy when it comes to moderation. No evidence = no punishment, even if that evidence used to exist and was deleted later. It creates accountability on the part of the offending user, the moderator who issues the punishment and leadership as a whole if that punishment is challenged in the future by the offending user or even moderators internally.
