Can we please have a few words of how the approval situation is atm? Rumours say back-end is broken and no approvals possible right now?
Basically, the devs are still mostly on break, the banner on the mods change wasn't meant to say they'd start approving mods after Jan 4th, no matter how it was worded.
"Some context: before mod approval can resume, we first need to do some other work (such as reviewing/strengthening the backend servers, etc). Some of the people needed for those tasks have already been forced to leave their families in the middle of their resting days, to tackle the unexpectedly large surge of player numbers during holidays (including weekends), to keep things running while the rest of people can enjoy their holidays. So while we understand that everyone really wants to download new mods, sometimes there are other priorities in life like mental health. Rest assured we're not halting mod approval for fun or greediness or anything like that. I admit our banner message was probably too optimistic in trying to estimate a range of dates (same reason we don't disclose update release dates), so we'll keep this in mind to try to improve the wording in the future. In any case, things will return to normal productivity as soon as that is possible " -stenyak, Today at 11:27 AM
