Krispy and the rest of the admin team lied straight to our faces to try to avoid an even worse situation when they gave us a timeline. Then they say that the timeline is unachievable when asked about it.

When will the admins stop spewing corporate bullshit and sit down with the mods and the users and make a real plan?!?

I honestly have no idea why it would take more than 5 months to write a new modmail system. That just shows that it's not a priority for the engineering and software teams when it REALLY should be.

Modmail is broken with how it is right now and every mod I know is fed up with the system as it is. This is a "front of the line" type issue that needs priority.

Have an opt-in alpha for only admin-mod interaction to test it out, but don't have this mysterious far-out date. the code isn't that difficult. If an indie developer can code, by himself, an entire game in a year, it shouldn't be this damn hard to get a new modmail system.

I could be mistaken but wasn't there a post by an Admin saying some stuff has already been in development for 9 months? If so how can this stuff seriously be taking so long?
