Audit Log

Every administrative and moderation action is recorded in the append-only audit log at /admin/audit.

What Gets Logged

  • User role changes (promotions, demotions)
  • User suspensions, bans, shadow bans
  • Content deletions (posts, threads, files)
  • Forum creation, modification, deletion
  • Configuration changes
  • Moderator assignments and removals
  • Feature flag toggles
  • Branding changes
  • Security actions (IP bans, MFA clears)

Log Fields

Each entry records:

  • Timestamp is when the action occurred
  • Actor is which admin or moderator performed it
  • Action is what was done (a structured action code like forum.settings_updated)
  • Detail is a human-readable description
  • IP address is the actor's IP at the time

Searching the Log

Filter by:

  • Action type
  • Actor (admin username)
  • Date range
  • Free-text search in details

Integrity

The audit log is append-only. Records cannot be updated or deleted. This ensures a tamper-evident trail of all administrative actions.
