Make a mod log then if you don’t want complaints about opaque moderation. I’m not ranting you literally edit user parts without notice. That’s not acceptable where I come from. I’ve seen it personally happening here way too much and your claims that we’d notice it are logical fallacies or something. You make sure any discussion like this is down modded into oblivion.
You came here doing exactly what I said you’d do, too. I’m done complaining for now but your comment isn’t convincing anyone who complains about your moderation.
Avoiding these meta discussions is what makes me wary of you mods. You guys basically shut down any discussion of moderation here like an iron fist.

We happily explain all our actions all the time, here in the comments and via email. There’s no great mystery to what we do and why. We explain things more openly and thoroughly than the moderators of sites with public modlogs do, from what I’ve observed. We’re also completely open to the public and highly forgiving of people who break the rules but earnestly seek to contribute positively. Unfortunately not everyone is here to contribute positively, but it’s not hard to do so for people who want to.
The underlying accusation of bias/manipulation is self-evidently false because it assumes our employer’s selfish agenda – even if you believe that’s what we most care about – is the opposite to what it actually is.
