Still doesn't address the potential for abuse issues that I brought up, though.
Here's a scenario:
A couple of the Mods get together at Jay's house tonight. Wackiness ensues and they all get a little silly on cough medicine. They then decide that they are sick of me addressing the shortcomings of how things are run here and go and ban me. They can then say that I had the requisite # of Infraction Points (who can say different?), the offending post was deleted and that it's none of anyone else's business (to use Jay's own words). Bans are permanent here and are not up for review. Problem solved.
I'm not saying that this has ever happened, nor am I accusing anyone. But, it could happen (now or in the future) and there is no way to prove it didn't happen as the "official record states" under the current system. Do you not see the need for more transparency now?
