You said some mods will now explain their actions and have given them 'secret' names in order that they may do that whilst retaining their anonymity, but if the request is removed (as happened a few minutes ago) how are they meant to know that an explanation is required?
have you thought of holding a Zoom horsewhipping of a mod once a month? You could do it on Pay Per View, which I'm sure would attract the crowds. The victim could be allowed to wear a mask if unwilling to be identified.
