New Chat Moderators
Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2009 2:20 pm
Just a quick note to say that, in light of their participation and behaviour in chat, MrsORaptor and eL_Joey have both been given shiny new red shirts.
Some of you may be wondering exactly why we need more moderators, and why (specifically) those two.
The mod group has discussed this at length, and there are two reasons:
1. There are certain times of day when Australian and US-based moderators are typically unavailable, which has left chat unmoderated for periods of time. Usually that's not a problem (because you're all pretty awesome) but occasionally incidents have occurred that require moderation. Given the new moderators' geographical location, they will hopefully be able to provide this, which is good for everyone.
2. Both MrsO and Joey are regular chat participants, and have demonstrated the qualities we look for in a moderator (they're helpful, intelligent, active chatters and have a good knowledge of the game and the rules of chat).
We're aware that there are other players who might make good mods, and there has been some discussion on this as well. The fact is that we feel that, unless there's a good reason for needing additional mods (see point 1 above), we will resist the temptation until such time as we DO have a good reason.
Anyway, enough of my waffle, welcome aboard to both of you!
