I don't know why are major things changed without player feedback. This directly effects the playerbase and players who actually play the server. Nothing good ever comes out of hiding reports unless you are running some big corporate company, which this is clearly not. No one ever asked for this, and it should never be like this. Reports, appeals and staff reports should be public, players should be able to see who is reported to contribute information. There is not one good reason for anyone to implement this, and you can refer to the attached poll to see what everyone wants (the community, not the staff)
