Edit 2: Also, to add, this is quite a huge change to dump on moderators without any heads up what-so-ever. It's not cool to make us scramble to react to something that has an instant change on the types of users & content we receive and directly impacts our moderation strategy.
For fucking serious...A heads up would have been appreciated, and you and I both know that the admins *most likely* discussed the implications it would have specifically in /r/AskReddit, and still didn't mention anything to us. That's what bothers me about this. Give us 12 hours to prepare, that's all we need.

It's funny to me that recently the admins have been discussing with the mods being more open and sharing more information, and unexpected changes like this still happen!

Hey, remember the last blackout? Promises of modtools and better communications? *Ha*
Mods can't present any serious ultimatum anyways, because by the end of day, power is in the admins' hands.

I don't even get why they announced it in this big way, they could have just posted it quietly so not to make a big deal out of it.
