Title: ModLog Post by: botany on October 15, 2015, 04:25:02 PM Question: Why restrict the modlog to only last one week's entries?
What is the harm in having a much longer (or even full) log? Title: Re: ModLog Post by: saturn643 on October 15, 2015, 08:22:11 PM There probably are too many entries in that log to give a longer log or full log. It would become too large to store and it isn't required to have.
Title: Re: ModLog Post by: MadZ on October 17, 2015, 09:03:56 AM To add onto this, why restrict the seclog to one month of entries? It would be nice to be able to reference old entries without having to use an archived version.

These are text strings...Title: Re: ModLog Post by: botany on October 19, 2015, 06:07:41 PM There probably are too many entries in that log to give a longer log or full log. It would become too large to store and it isn't required to have. Too large to store isn't a good enough reason. Is there anything else, due to which it has been specifically restricted?

Yes, even if just a couple of users find it useful, it would still make sense to make it available.

Being an IT person, I'm inclined to think it could and probably is archived off and compressed. Even weekly tar.gz files would be a good thing. Title: Re: ModLog Post by: Omikifuse on November 02, 2015, 12:40:56 AM Isn't the full modlog stored somewhere offline?
I think that the problem is the resources to make a search in a giant modlog with years of entries, more than the size itself. And in some decades the size may be a problem too if many people decide to download it(bandwidth problem instead of storage problem) Title: Re: ModLog Post by: Coinonomous on November 02, 2015, 01:34:56 AM Isn't the full modlog stored somewhere offline?

I personally keep a year's around, archived monthly (not here, my own sites). Title: Re: ModLog Post by: botany on November 06, 2015, 11:37:14 PM Isn't the full modlog stored somewhere offline?

I don't think the problem is with the capability to make it available; the issue is whether giving access is correct / necessary. I expected one of the mods to reply to this thread. |
