Opaque enforcement bothers me too. How can you trust people who enforce a rule if you can't see for yourself what happened? How do you know they broke a publically-announced rule (all of which are perfectly reasonable) or if they just pissed off somebody?
I'm personally still a bit paranoid about my participation on TFP for these reasons. I can tell you this is not true in other groups that I am part of (they are mostly orthagonal in purpose, don't worry).
