Of course it would. Are you kidding me? Transparency is the hallmark of a fair system. What you might perceive as fair might not be. I'm not saying you should delegate actual powers to the membership at large, but I can't see how it could hurt for us to be able to see what's going on behind the curtain so that we might give feedback and point out what we perceive as errors in your thinking. It would still be your decisions as staff, but it would be informed by the membership.
Holy crap dude, I think you are simply looking to be paranoid for no good reason.
Even in real life outside the web, courts have judges, judges often have sidebars with lawyers the gallery does not hear. Even judges can ponder a case inside chambers in private. There is no funny business going on here.
The analogy with the courts is very bad. Here you don't have the chance to defend yourself. If the staff thinks you acted badly, you're going to get banned no matter what. Are we to assume the staff is always right about everything?
