Even as a casual (yet long-term) user of Reddit, it blows my mind that you said admins need to discuss how to tell mods a big, sweeping change will take place.
Yeah, I understand this. We're talking internally about how to communicate our unwillingness to do this better going forward.
Seriously, though, I get why they don't. How do you keep something under wraps if it's being blasted out to every mod? You're thinking about a feature, that may or may not even make the cut, it leaks, and you get people outraged over it for no reason.

I think it would be more like, tell the mods when you make the decision "yes, it **is** going to happen." Then delay the actual change for a bit for mods to prepare. Not involve them in the very beginning phases of developing a feature/change.
