I think it’s bad form to make costly (in terms of time) requests to moderators unless you’re willing to be part of the solution. In this case, it would be good at minimum to outline exactly what you mean by a “transparency report”—concretely, what sort of information would you like to see, and why would it be helpful? It would be even better if you were willing to volunteer to help in creating the report to the extent that the help can be utilized.
No, that’s the moderator’s responsibility to explain why they have taken their course of action.
Not in a case like this. There no reason in an online forum like this to give people who violate the rules full information about how they were caught.
If you read the discussions leading up to picking a moderator I don’t think you find an agreement on a responsiblity of a moderator to explain everything they do. Nancy has a responsibility to moderate when problems arise but she doesn’t have a responsibility to explain everything.
In the past putting to much effort into criticizing moderator actions resulted in this community being undermoderated and we shouldn’t repeat that mistake.

No, that’s the moderator’s responsibility to explain why they have taken their course of action. I don’t care about time.
I quoted the exact part I wanted an explanation on.
You don’t care about how much time your requests cost me? Nice to know.

He point of having moderators is to empower them to make these decisions without having to consult the community.
