I mean, I am sure glad we had it, given that it allowed me to debug this.
I also think de-facto, making it so I really couldn’t tell who launched nukes would require many hours of effort and changes to our logging infrastructure that seem ill-advised, so ultimately the only thing that whoever launches the nukes can rely on is our word and promise here. I don’t think it’s worth it for me to make that information unrecoverable, given both the risk and time cost it would entail.
Sure, but in the unlikely event that a high karma user had blown up the site immediately wouldn’t you have known their identity and broken your word? If anything I’d like you to not promise and instead say “it’s unlikely we’ll know”.
wouldn’t you have known their identity and broken your word?
No:
I did a count on our database for any button pressed by users who were above the karma threshold, without returning any of the names, and it returned 0, so I knew that something had gone wrong.

No, I wouldn’t have known, since I intentionally only counted the number of records, not seen any details about them.
I retract my criticism.
