I find the ratio of clarification in the comments to the amount of content in the initial post to be really concerning. This is a perfect example of needing to include more, clear information in the initial announcement post.

This is par for the course with new announcements, though. An admin will bring up a new change, say they are going to stick around to answer questions, then immediate bail and you never hear from them again.

I know this isn’t a fix, but while waiting for them to fix it, you can get moderators that is online when most of the other moderators arent

I set up a feature that you might want to consider implementing! I have programmed AutoMod to automatically comment on every post in my subreddit, notifying users of this new feature, its potential for abuse, and how to disable it. I think it's pretty clear that the admins don't want users to know about this, because if they did they would have posted in r/Announcements rather than r/ChangeLog. Therefore, I believe it's up to us mods to get the word out and protect the members of our communities.

I really hope you will consider doing this! As a mod of large subreddits you have a much larger reach than I do.
