Any thoughts on this?

The problem with anonymity is that we may not know when something unscrupolous is occurying whereas when people must be in open, there is less change for deceptive practices. This is the problem with AMerican democracy and private voting. It allows the in for fraud.

Believe me, as a middle schooler, I see the worst in people as far as integrity goes each day. This gives me first hand experience on how to deal with these sort of situations.

jrg http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/de85c185f39ef9feef79d9933409d400?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG jrg answered: For some moderator actions, I'm pretty sure the rules regarding the privacy policy and such don't allow transparency, however, for other things (for example, integrating Ask Ubuntu with the general Ubuntu community), transparency is something I would say is a requirement and is not optional in any way, shape or form.

Roland Taylor http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d629b6ac45d58dbd918c0246b364748d?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG Roland Taylor answered: Great question. Transparency is something I treasure, and as such, I would strive to be as transparent as is possible + necessary + allowed - though I would be careful to use wisdom - which means, avoiding making blanket statements, being personally negative toward another user (especially in cases where it could attract a group attack), and in private (when it would be backstabbing).

Bruno Pereira http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/858395cf1fc125b0609a1070081038b8?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG Bruno Pereira answered: I think some transparency is of the up most importance. If it does not offend and it is justified there is nothing wrong with it. OneWe cannot be all the time seen on good hands when handling transparency or being frontal but then again we are not here to be popular.

I would try to make decision making as much transparent as possible, as that would enable the community to make a wiser opinion regarding the decision. Saying that, from what I have read from the moderator terms, there are certain things that shouldn't be exposed to the general public and I seek no compromise on that.
