I should make clear I am not trying to excuse anything: I am not a Larian employee and have no insight into their processes for mod approval beyond that which they shared publicly and which I linked above for info for anyone who hadn't seen it. I was just pointing out that it is still the holiday period, so not altogether surprising that we've not had a post-holiday update yet.
I and the other moderators are simply ordinary forum members and fans of the game, and our only official role is to keep discussion in line with forum rules. Which include keeping things civil and respectful and not berating others for any reason. By participating here, we're all signalling we're up for debate on those terms, so let's not let frustration lead us into picking arguments.
