Anti-Evil Operations accidentally revealed a random admin account.
I saw this random r/ModSupport post and was surprised that an admin accidentally revealed a random admin account.

u/PossibleCrit:Hey spiceydog!
This is indeed someone on the safety team.
I'll let them know that the username is appearing in the log.

"I'll let them know that the username is appearing in the log."
Note it wasn't: "that shouldn't have been done" or "that was due to XYZ", nope it was a "crap, you shouldn't have seen that in the log, we'll make sure it doesn't show up next time"

Not quite. This isn't an uncommon thing and appears in the log under the name "Anti-Evil Operations" (yes, really). In this case, it appears the admin probably didn't activate their admin status properly or something.
It isn't that they want to hide the action, it's just not meant to appear under a personal username.

Regular people aren't supposed to know who the Secret Police are!

Reddit got caught unprepared by the protests, they are probably working on a shadow mod feature and forgot to hide it from the log. Deleting an already removed post is a fairly inconspicuous way to demo the feature.
After mods, bans, and shadow bans, we have shadow mods. We should have expected it.
This sounds like the progression of a story arc in a terrible anime, honestly.
Shhhhh, we are SHOCKED, I'm telling you.
Wow, they're deploying their own secret police
