Allow abuse filters to be hidden to only oversighters In progress
Description
- Problem: Often, the best way to prevent mass-doxxing of users is by an abuse filter. However, filtering doxxing attempts will usually involve including private information in the filter rules. The abuse log will also contain the private information that the abuse filter is preventing from disclosure, which a human oversighter will have to manually suppress. The existing private filter status is insufficient because it still allows administrators and other editors to view personal information which should be restricted.
- Proposed solution: Abuse filters should have an option to automatically suppress the abuse log for the filter. Abuse filters should also have a separate option to restrict the ability to view and edit the filter to oversighters when the filter rule contains private data.
- Who would benefit: Oversighters, who otherwise have to manually suppress filter hits; Doxxing victims, who otherwise have their personal information disclosed to a larger group of people
