And surely there is no opportunity for bias there.

Maybe that means you set the bar impossibly high.
Maybe the bar for moderation should be higher than it is right now. I guess I’m an asshole for wanting such a thing, I can live with that.
Though I'd see that transparency as a step forward, it's very likely to generate flamewars and even more discussion on the topic. If I was a mod I'd probably weigh the pros and cons of that to be negative overall.
