Community Moderation Queue Log
Short, concise description of the idea
Make a community moderation log (tracking recent activity - e.g. post submissions, status, poster, etc.) accessible to community maintainers. (CLARIFICATION - I meant/intended for this to be independent of the regular queue and accessible to maintainers so they have

I really don't think the moderator jumping the queue thing is an issue--I say that as someone who has done that for a community I run that is pretty tightly moderated to keep it relevant. In that case, I thank the person who originally brought it up, often quote them, and add additional information I think the community could have about the topic. Having this recorded would just let my fellow maintainer have a nice record, not make me less likely to do so if I think it's needed. I also think that your visual doesn't show Moderator 1 doing less work, ha. Rejecting posts is just as much work as accepting them ( ... )

It does??*
I don't actually think IP address should be logged as some people are very sensitive about that kind of information and this would have to happen to every post in every community just in case someone pulled up that page. I suppose a compromise would be to add a "log IP addresses of people who post in this community" option and then place a warning on the Update page if the option is turned on (although that bit is slightly problematic because the Update page doesn't know if you intend to post to the community until you select it from the drop-down).
* Other than for use by the Abuse Prevention Team, that is.

And would this queue log be available to just maintainers or moderators, too? One of the differences between maintainers and moderators is the ability to see IP addresses. Since moderators can't see all IP addresses, the log might not be as useful to moderators.
And along those same lines, I may not personally use the IP address displayed in a log when approving posts. Due to the large volume of posts in a day, it would take up too much time to do IP lookups. And with proxies, trolls would be able to hide their identity anyway. But if on some rare occassion someone edits their post after approval, another maintainer or myself could just delete it.

And is this something completely independent of the queue itself? I think I'm just confusing myself over this. But good idea to have some tools nonetheless.
