I suspect that most people would be happy with, rather than absolute consistency across all boards, consistency within a forum and logical explanations of actions. When a moderator refuses to explain the logic behind an action, there is going to be backlash. No, the moderator isn't obligated to explain, but choosing not to explain causes upheaval like this. It's not hard to communicate with people about your actions, and it's the best preventative measure because it's the only way people get a feel for the 'rules'. If a moderator is offended that they are being asked to justify their actions, if they don't want to have to deal with people disagreeing with them, then perhaps the mod needs to step back a bit, because being offended in that manner is making the situation too personal. A moderator's actions should never be so personal that they cannot be explained, and if they are, it's time to step down, IMHO.
