Message deletion reason isn't displayed

[HarHarLinks]

Description

Deleting (redacting) a message offers to input the reason for the deletion. That reason seems to never be displayed (except viewing the hidden redaction event in debug mode).

Steps to reproduce

• redact msg

Describe how what happens differs from what you expected.
What is this for if not display? It would also spare people from derailing the conversation by having to explain.

This is not a defect, this is deliberate as redaction reasons can be used as an abuse vector

[SimonBrandner]

It would require an amount of design work to figure out how to do this. There was #5604

[HarHarLinks]

I didn't realize, I'm assuming the argument is that redaction events (i.e. redaction reason) can't be redacted?
In that case, the feature should be removed completely until redesigned in a proper way that prohibits abuse. Further, Element shouldn't offer the reason text input since that is only confusing.

@HarHarLinks, please open a new issue. Either about designing a way to show redact reasons or about removing them
