Pretty surprised that this didn't get run by mods of large subs like /r/AskReddit, tbh.

On almost every major announcement mods have to point out the the admins how this is going to mess with the sight in ways the admins don't intent. And every time it happens the admins say they are going to more community outreach, and talk about the admin they have to work with high level mods to make sure problems don't happen.
And then nothing changes. The admins keep on making changes without consulting their stakeholders.
*EDIT* Called it. Here is powerlanguage sticking to the script.
Thank you for the feedback. We're going to be monitoring the effect that this change has. I ask that you try this change out and see what the impact is on your moderation team's workload. You can post feedback in r/modsupport.
Also, to add, this is quite a huge change to dump on moderators without any heads up what-so-ever. Yeah, I understand this. We're talking internally about how to handle announcing updates like this better going forward.

You're greatly overestimating the amount of quality communication between admins and mods.

I see mods from every big sub except SRD here complaining about not being notified in advance.... Very interesting...
