I would gladly be on such email list.

While I appreciate the way CCC is moderated, the fact that post deletion is done
completely "behind the curtains" is still a constant concern for me.

Further, from time to time a guy stands up and pretends that some posts of his
have been deleted. Each time this spread some suspicion on the moderation work,
which is unfair.

I know we are not in a hurry for this, but I would really like to see something
like a mailing list or a link somewhere on CCC where I can find the list of
deleted messages. I don't suggest to have the body of header of the message
(this would be a too good opportunity for the trouble makers), but just the
date/time, name of poster, and name of moderator(s) would deleted the message.

Just a line for each deleted message. That would be enough to get rid of this
"dark side of the moon".
