I mean, I take your point, but compared to Reddit, where there is no record unless a third-party website happens to archive it before the mods remove it, the Modlog is very transparent.
It’s a vast improvement over the black box of Reddit. But a big stretch to claim its transparent in a material sense. Most people don’t have the time or background to figure out the what and why of a mod action. And once something is removed, it’s dead to time.
Although I would say that the inability to contact moderators and have a formal process of requests is significantly worse. I agree about the material sense of transparency.
