The older answer attracted more attention from the people who were active at the time, @Peilonrayz. To be fair the accepted answer is quite good and well-detailed, but there aren't as many people around actively upvoting this kind of content. This is an important canary to indicate as well, in my assessment.

(And yes, it took me this long to think of a response that I hope was restrained enough. I'm hoping it's restrained, at least.)

There's a lot I want to say about the delay in communication or the priorities of the team, but I don't think it'd do much good at this point. There's a desire to thank you for the rollout, but there's already a bigger problem afoot with the community and its moderation. At this point I hope that the community would be motivated enough to partake in this, since I would've imagined that the time that the broader "get this on CM's radar" initiative was probably before the few of us who were here decided to move on and who would've been targeted by this effort.

Can I say out loud that we only have essentially one candidate now, since the other one announced that they'd sooner withdraw than participate? What happens next?

It's been a while since you've been in these parts @Torisuda. I'd really want you to capture your thoughts somewhere better than a comment - maybe an answer?

It wouldn't hurt @ahiijny, but my sometimes controversial opinion is that it's worth doing a little more work up front to make things easier down the road. People already don't read our FAQ or Meta to determine if their identification question is on-topic or not, and it feels like anything short of putting this information directly in front of a question asker is not enough to get their attention.

We'll see how it goes with schedules and free time and all of that. I will contribute an answer or two on the first two points, though; figure that's a safe enough start.

I'm intrigued. How can I help?
