I feel like this echoes off what I was saying yesterday, so my input here is going to obviously be in support of everything I stood by previously.
1. I think it would be great if at least, whenever you downvote someone, you get a pop-up asking "why are you downvoting?" you are then supposed to write a reason (or select from a list of reasons) and at the bottom of the topic there would be a "downvote log" with all the explanations for each downvote. People would be able to read the reasons presented there and figure out for themselves whether there were valid arguments in favor of turning the comment down.
2. I was thinking of making the option to flag a mod. Whenever you flag him, you are supposed to write a reason for which the mod is flagged. If the mod receives an overwhelming amount of flags in a short period of time (say, for example, 20% of the members subscribed to a tribe flag a moderator), then the admins get an alert reporting this. They are then able to decide whether that mod should stay or go.
3. Spending my time everywhere! I try to find topics to comment upon. I'm managing /t/dota2 and /t/devilsadvocate (thanks for advertising it!) and looking forward to whatever other challenges may come up!
Logs, comments, and review all seem good - especially if, as much as possible, we keep things in the open. I think it was the behind-the-scenes decisions that really raised the ire on reddit recently. Well, that and the seemingly unevenly applied standards that were claimed to be violated.

And perhaps people outside the tribe (who won't have a vested interest one way or the other) could discuss and vote on this. There could be a sub section that only those called upon to address the person/persons could see and participate in and the admins of the site could also be involved as needed.

A great day to everyone!
1. I agree. I like the log idea. Let's also add the ability to upvote/downvote and comment on the downvote reasons :P
2. I could see that being a potential solution.
Great day to you, as well :)
