Have you considered transparency for when you down-weight a specific post or thread?

- dang 5y agoI don't see a reason to treat that type of moderation decision separately from others, so your question amounts to whether we'd publish a complete moderation log. We've certainly considered that, but I don't think it would be a good idea—the fear is that it would end up just leading to a lot more procedural questions from a small minority of users, that would take tons of time to answer, without doing anything to benefit the majority of the community. Instead, the approach we take to transparency is to be willing to answer specific questions when people have them. It seems to work fairly well. Not everyone is satisfied with that, but most users are, and of the ones who aren't, a nontrivial portion wouldn't be satisfied with a complete moderation log either.
