That depends. I would expect usually not but sometimes maybe.

Why? If a reasonable explanation can be given, a explanation should be
given. -snip-
This is why I think the admins should explain their
decisions but should not be obligated to do so.

I agree. But I think that admins should be obligated to explain a
rejection, but at their own discretion. I think preference should be
given to explaining a descision rather than not, but of course, that isn’t
always possible.
|
“At their own discretion” ... wouldn’t that also mean that Admins
shouldn’t be obligated?
I’m a bit confused.
|
What I meant was that Admins should give preference to explaining something
rather than ‘keeping it a secret’ if you will, but whether or not they
actually should tell something should be left up to them, especially if it
involves a sensitive matter. Hope that’s a little clearer.
|
That’s got plenty of wiggle...

Perhaps a good compromise would be, Admins are obligated to give a reason,
but that reason need not be detailed. A detailed reason should be crafted
for internal Admin reasons, but not necessarily shared with the general
public.
|
sounds OK to me too.

I’m not sure I agree though, what’s the value in posting a “we rejected this for
technical reasons” with no more detail at all post at the tail end of the string
if it shows rejected on the list, and if the string gives a lot of gory
technical detail as to why it’s not a good idea? Did the “we rejected this” post
actually add any information? Or at least, enough information to make it worth
the clutter?
I don’t know.
Again, most suggestions will, I suspect, remain open rather than going reject so
it may be a moot point.
