Comment (by fierevere):

 normal, active users who violated something and are flagged for modwatch
 are the "top of the iceberg", there are much more users who are
 precautionary flagged

 * suspected spammers
 * posting test messages
 * people acted weird, flagged just to see their next post(s) and then
 unflag if there will be nothing wrong.

 and some other cases, where it is better not to expose the fact that the
 user is modwatched , **especially spammers**
 Also when someone need to calm down (We're often using it in Rosetta,
 where the community is smaller and posts stream is under better control)
 sometimes we dont need to post any further notes, where user already had
 enough (trolling, being toxic, provocative, etc)

 my opinion is - optional user visible reason, not mandratory.
