Ask HN: How to check who the black bar is honoring?

I noticed the black bar is up today and I don't see any death posts. Is there an easy way to see who this is honoring? It would be nice to have a feature that on hover said who it was or something of the like.

This is a great idea. A log of moderator actions on HN generally would be a good idea, imo.

I think that would be exploited by bad actors- they could e.g. figure out what time of day mods are inactive to best circumvent rules, and know when things were removed in order to re-add them immediately.

I would posit that bad actors already know these all of these things in the status quo absence of desired transparency, with none of the upside or insights that transparency would bring.
