Pulling this out from popcorn thread, as this idea is detested by popcorn companies who try to shut it down by excrementposting it out of sight., some good posts followed, was pretty bad.

Mod dramas are great, if you like popcorn. When did we have the last change on TMO that concerned transparency/openness? Did we all get it right the first time? If someone imagined the internet today in 1995 would he see an encyclopedia or the clickbait show of today?
Open mod logs are a necessity nowadays. Sure we have the same guys we trust, but why would they oppose change if the world around is changing and this is no longer usenet? Snowden, wikileaks, schneider all show us the internet is no longer innocent place to exchange ideas by academics. In the world of NK/Russian/US/Israeli/(enter your own country here) cyberwars that also include propaganda expecting 'hidden actions by those in power' to follow the unhidden constitution/ruleset is a bit naive. Nothing wrong in having clear and transparent view of the actions of those in power, they are human, if they err we can help them correct their mistakes. If they abuse it and act unlawfully, well.
It's a shame this forum is more stagnant than n900 was under nokia's captainship. Internet of 2008 vs internet of 2015 are quite different and expectations of people seem to also evolve faster than the old rules. Vote for more popcorn or less

And clarification, this is not about opening mod/admin emails and private messages, this is to reveal what and when was removed/edited/moved, so we can all call the lies out when they happen (just look here this part of your post was actually threatening people with death, criminal offense and this should've been removed, go cry somewhere else)
