I linked a bunch in the new mod announcement thread to this video: http://youtu.be/pvKOxSgADRY because I saw that it was being deleted and I was reading about how people were getting permabanned for posting it.

The announcement of /u/Viking83 stepping down for unknown reasons and /u/richmomz stepping up was left stickeyed for about 40 minutes until being unstickeyed, with many comments removed (my own included, so I just went on a spree linking to the video wanting to know what the fuck was going on, and to get he word out of things truly were sketchy)...

This announcement, today, on a National Holiday, after just changing mods again, with all of the thread deletions, and the lack of transparency coupled with the innumerable rumors, have led me to question the mods, and I'd like the air to be cleared.

I'd also like to be unmuted and unbanned forthwith.

-Does anyone know anything? Will the mods clear the air?

This was done poorly. The fact that questions remain unanswered is their fault entirely.
