Here's the issue: The Jolt database has several different fields that look like they might control which posts were supposed to be visible to which users. I can't tell which ones were actually used (or how)--for example, there's a "visible" field on the posts table that can be one of four different values, so what's the difference between visible==1 and visible==2?
So what I did was throw up a fairly big piece of the forum and ask people to speak up if they noticed a post that looked like it shouldn't be there. Nobody has spoken up, probably because that's really hard to tell, too.
I haven't simply dumped the entire archive into public view, because it will surely contain some posts that shouldn't be visible. Posts from the mod-only forum aren't the issue, as those are simple to identify. The ones that concern me are the posts by users that were hidden by a moderator because they contain something bad (e.g. graphic content, personal details, death threats; the usual stuff that mods deal with).
I guess I need to just take my best guess and upload. But it's a concern because people do post the most atrocious stuff sometimes. You don't see it, because the mods are fast, but it happens.
