Yes, you're right, it's absolutely stupid that any idiot would have looked at the time given on an official page written by the Yuletide mods when they could have just looked at the different time on a different official page also written by the Yuletide mods.

*shrugs* I guess if you’re a noob this is new information to you.

1) Yuletide (and most non-wanky exchanges) will always do reveals at the same time the collection opened to give everyone a full anon period. If it opened at 9am then the reveals will be 9am. If there was a delay, it will do reveals at whatever time the delay was.

2) Mods of exchanges with a DW/LJ based update system will, in fact, update their communities more often than they will AO3. There is no way for people to realize an AO3 change has been made, but people can track or just see that a new post went up on a comm. If you thought reveals were at one time and then got confused when they didn’t happen at 12:01, go to the comm and see what is going on.

OP this is what I did? I can't believe that you're blaming anyone but the mods for having two different times listed on two different official profiles lmfao.

You came to coal. If you went to the admin comm you never would have needed to ask here.

I posted on coal and then I checked the admin comm. But I repeat:

I can't believe that you're blaming anyone but the mods for having two different times listed on two different official profiles lmfao.

It's more people blaming you for coming here and pitching a fit about a non-issue.

No one else cares. You got your answer easily by checking the official sources. You're several years too late if you want people getting upset about this.

The reveals time was 12am rather than 9am up until the 23rd or 24th when they updated it then too. The mods aren’t worried about keeping fake Ao3 times up to date and that’s perfectly reasonable. As long as the time there doesn’t decrease, who cares*?


* beyond this butthurt coalie, obviously. Everyone seemed to get the memo.

I can’t believe you think this is a ~blaming the mods~ situation. I think the rules themselves tell you outright to check the community for information. If you want to go off AO3 then more power to you, but you will continue find your self feeling shocked and betrayed.

Obviously this is all [personal profile] coalcube’s fault for not putting the countdown in the main post. Don’t they know they’re the defacto morbane when it comes to saving idiots like you from your own subpar reasoning skills?

The Yuletide mods are great at putting out conflicting information, and will happily tell people off for raising it because they're volunteers and they don't have time to keep everywhere updated.
