This is a great idea. A log of moderator actions on HN generally would be a good idea, imo.

I think that would be exploited by bad actors- they could e.g. figure out what time of day mods are inactive to best circumvent rules, and know when things were removed in order to re-add them immediately.

I would posit that bad actors already know these all of these things in the status quo absence of desired transparency, with none of the upside or insights that transparency would bring.

That would be great for transparency indeed, the question is whether or not they want to be transparent.

The feature requests mentioned are pretty easy to implement.
