And by default those "marked" by moderators posts will be hide and link(or button) would just show it, so forum will be clean, but some people might find it usefull read even those posts. It's just proposal and i do not expect it.

Btw how TMO is modified from original vBulletin and if there are any sources? Earlier you mentioned that it might take time to mods activity, so i think maybe if there would be source on some git hosting, users not only can give proposals but push commits with working solution or at least WIP and it might be decided to accept those or not.
I really like that idea, would be almost modlogs transparency, preserving conversation flow and allowing less-offendable to learn what someone had to say (maybe easy link would too much provoke others to quote/cite less offensive parts, but if it would be separate text-only loglike page should be good enough)
Also +1 on the source, but judging by chemist's comment (we paid good money for...) it would seem it is in fact closed (oh the irony)
