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.
