I don't want to be a jerk about this, so please don't take it that way, but the mod team:
And again, I do appreciate what the mod team does, and if there are things going on behind the scenes that needed to change, I understand that. I'm just frustrated by the lack of communication and transparency, and a PM from Dooku to you would only have contributed to that lack for the rest of us.
- Shut down the forum with no warning and no explanation of why, other than vague statements about a "cooling off period" and looking at the rules
- Published a date by which it would be reopened
- Made no further communication about what's going on
- Missed the reopen date with no communication to the community.

Feels like a PM-worthy point more than a thread, but I get it. Plan is for tomorrow, bro, and hopefully that is the case, thanks for your patience.

I think it should have been a PM because we asked for a full break from Politics during this time.
The plan is we open it tomorrow, hopefully we're ready on our end to do that. Thanks for your patience.

To add to the confusion/frustration, the announcement message stating the Politics Forum was temporarily closed is also gone.
