Admins and stadd discuss important matters in a staff-only Discord server in many cases, this is faster and easier than the alternatives, such as posting a forum thread and hoping everybody who needs to see it sees it.

And for the record, one admin was adamant about something for ages and got mad about us trying to change it, turns out he was wrong and we still haven't let him live it down.

As for why we are considering Vernal to be the spring maiden, her name Vernal does itself relate to Spring; her and Raven were the only women other than Weiss and Yang present when the lightning bolt happened, and obviously Raven does not fit either possible criteria for the Maiden powers. Process of elimination, paired with other details I'm too forgetful to remember, suggest she is definitely Spring.

That said, if it turns out we're wrong, feel free to call us out on our stubborness.
