This version is both innocuous and flexible, IMHO. It could promote valuable feedback for some forums.
^^ Although I'm guessing your excellent proposal will go over like a lead balloon. All but a few of the moderators I've met & interacted with are wonderful, fair, approachable people, but there are others who seem very much afraid of transparency.
