Let me explain myself. I thought they all didn't want to be mods anymore but then I found out they were fired. This is too weird, why would they get fired?
And then, Retro opens the new thread claiming to announce to the new mods and it turns out to be fake.
The most important is that someone asked about the other mod applications that a few members submitted back in January, and here is Kworb's answer, "they will be used when we do decide to add new moderators" (source). He said "we" instead of "they", meaning that they're still mods. So is the whole thing staged? I think I'm up to something over here.
Something's telling me that they are all getting their title back at midnight.
