If the "plan for some time" was not to post an open poll, then who told the coding staff to code it? Surely they didn't just do it on their own. Doesn't hold water. What does make sense is that some members (read merchants, mods and admins) complained, and the voting was yanked. That part I believe. So, now other members are complaining. Who do you listen to? There's no conspiracy theory--it's obvious what happened. What there is, is an attempt on the part of the admins to cover it up, and sweep the whole business under the rug. Did they think we wouldn't notice? That no one would care? Yet another insult to your intelligence, courtesy of the PTB.
