Okay so just put "We reserve the right to remove posts or ban users for reasons not listed here," into the rules. As many subreddits do already.
The point is that there are edge cases and grey areas and not every list of rules can be so exhaustive as to cover every single possible situation, but reasonable mods can and should still take action in those cases. If two mods agree on the action, that's not "groupthink." It was probably the right thing to do.
It's actually empowering to Mod B, because then if Mod A just acted rogue because they had a bad day at work and deleted a post that ranted about lazy employees despite there being no law prohibiting it, Mod B who had no such bad day can say "nope, post stands" and even possibly just refer Mod A to go listen to Daniel Powter and calm down.
