It can be a source of harassment to not be able to anonymize actions.
Communities should know what their mods are doing. It's an important stop gap against abusive moderation tactics.
Transparency is a beautiful thing, always!
Do you mean anonymize as in hide which specific mod took a particular action? Because that makes sense as an anti-harassment feature, and doesn't conflict with everyone who's retorting about transparency.
Mod actions should be publicly available, but not necessarily which mod is taking the action. That can just lead to witch hunts and ignores the complicity of other mods
