How would you even know if he wasn't being transparent?

  By observing a lack of transparency within his comments; which I don't observe, as I observe the opposite: transparency. It allows him to earn trust, as it makes him accountable.

    how do you know he's not just deleting things without comments? plus these are posts as dang, and as the admin he could do basically anything he wants. fwiw i think there is a good faith effort on their part, but you have no way of seeing anything shady if they don't want you to.

      Because then we'd have comments (I have showdead on) which would call him out, and caching and screenshots would provide proof. If he'd resort to harmful behavior the risk is simply too high as it would infract his reputation.

  Whenever he decides to (shadow)ban someone, he usually warns the user multiple times in replies (as evidenced by his comment history). Additionally, if you turn "showdead" on in your settings, you can see all comments even from shadowbanned users or that have been flagged or voted-dead by the general community (I think and hope for legal reasons that this excludes links to legally prohibited material such as CSAM or piracy).
