That's just wrong, to be honest i'm not a big fan of their wording in their posts, but my understanding of this whole situation is as such.
From the 15th of August we will be sending the list of names to people who have the power to distribute rewards... as such you are likely to receive your rewards after maintenance this week.
No one has their rewards yet as far as i can see.
Moderators don't have power, and the CM is not likely to spend hours of time sending 400+ rewards out manually as the likelihood of error is very high.
Therefor a list of names sent to support (mods have higher priority than us) and they will distribute them during maintanence...
Just my thoughts.
