Then they should clarify their intentions.

People in this thread investigating and speculating regarding the motivations of site mods/admins as though they were Q. Why can't mods/admins speak for themselves to a clear way? Making everyone chase them around like this is such strange undisciplined behavior.

My impression previously was that mods/admins understand this kind of scrutiny on their every action is possible but like anyone else don't want to have the whole site breathing down their necks while they work. Taking such puzzling actions heavily encourages people to monitor them all the time which in the long run will only be uncomfortable for them. It would be much smarter to take the time to write something up instead of relying on others to sniff up the breadcrumbs and put together a theory of mind on that basis.
