So, avoid all transparency and accountability around moderation and then reference vague and subjective terms to dismiss those who rightly complain.

What is the transparency and accountability that ought to happen here that hasn't, specifically?

[dttze]

Any moderation should show who did it. Flagging should show who flagged.

Seems like a simple and transparent way to show how unbiased and well run HN is.

Flagging can be done by any user (above some karma threshold). This is well known and documented in the faq. A log of this would just make for more tiresome meta discussion. Which is also something the guidelines point out.
