Please consider removing this. This checkbox can never be unchecked as all abuse filter hits are logged in the abuse filter log. If it needs to be made explicit a message saying that actions triggering the filter while enabled will be logged in the abuselog would be enough IMHO, but having a checkbox that can never be unchecked is a bit useless now. I don't think AbuseFilter does support unlogged operations even in non WMF wikis. Thanks.

The checkbox has existed since at least June 2008, and it has been since then always been hard-coded as disabled. I think it would be appropriate to remove it. Patch to follow.
Change 337427 had a related patch set uploaded (by Huji):
Remove the "flag the edit in the abuse log" checkbox
+ User-notice so users are informed about this and that does not mean that the abusefilter will stop logging. Every filter set as enabled but with no further actions will have their hits logged, but this informative checkbox is removed.
