It was my memory from the discussion where the idea of having the moderation log was born, was that including the post text per default makes sense.
In a forum where there’s one trusted moderator team that does all the moderation decision I don’t think it’s an issue when deleted posts are completely invisible. LW2 however isn’t such a forum but one where individual users are supposed to set moderation policies for their own posts and moderate according to those policies. A moderation log that includes the text of the deleted post would provide a way to understand the defacto moderation policy of every user who moderates his own posts.
This will likely lead to some discussion about moderation that take some attention but when the idea is to experiment with different moderation styles I don’t think those moderation discussions are useless.
