An easy workaround is to have a different channel of communication for when a chief/mod wants to speak to a user in an official capacity. They'll both know that those messages are public, and there's no reason for them not to be.
I think a public channel of communication could be the right idea here, and definitely something we can incorporate sometime in the future. Most of these things sadly have to be considered reactive measures as we grow and learn from issues that arise. Good idea though!
