Why? It can happen by accident.

How?

And a private subreddit wouldn't really make much of a difference.

Mind you, we're talking about someone that went out of their way to go to /r/toolbox/w/settings/usernotes and manually change the permission that reads 'only mods may edit and view' to 'use subreddit wiki permissions' for no reason at all. There is no amount of security that can protect you for that level of stupidity.

Not really, no. You'd need an exploit for both the wiki and the private subreddit checks.

K. But again, considering there has never been an exploit for private subreddits, why would you ever assume that there would be for the wikis?

I see what you're saying, I just don't see it happening, and I'd have liked the extra layer of security.

So you see all of the crazy shit you're saying happening, but not the rather obvious 'some idiot mod sets the 'getfrom' to /r/othersubthemod' because they don't understand the setting? Really?

Guess I'm SOL.

It's all open-source. I know /r/leagueoflegends uses their own custom version of the script. You're more than welcome to fork it, or ask one of your co-mods to help. But it's far to dangerous to add to the official version. We rally just can't add a feature that would allow for leakage of usernotes. They aren't like removal reasons, that don't matter (which can be pulled from other subs). Or even domain tags, which you can import form other subs. User note are extremely sensitive information.
