As a few of you have noticed (okay a lot of you according to the PMs I've received) we have slowly been adding moderators to the LFG Comic Moderation Team.

Those new moderators include:

Devin Austra for The Comic and General Discussion
giggledropsunshine for General Discussion/Games & Entertainment
Zoran for General Discussion/Games & Entertainment
Wise Goblin for the Roleplay area

A few questions have come through via PM regarding the addition of mods, the most notable being "Why haven't you guys given notice you were hiring new mods so we could apply"

There were a few reasons behind this. In the past, we've received applications from those that were new forumites, from those that had just gotten being on suspension or had recently been suspended for rules breaking, from those who rarely posted and from those who were applying their friends for the position. This time we decided to do things different and made suggestions as to who we think would make good mods for the appropriate forums as there has been a need for a while now to add to the moderation team.

Many factors were considered, including activity, obeyance of rules, longivity on the forum and other items as well. And while you may not understand why we picked the folks we did, please understand that there were reasons behind our considerations and decisions. And there will be more folks added as well till we have 2 moderators per forum. And while some suggestions will be considered, we would appreciate it if you did not continue to PM the moderators and admins regarding the decisions made.

The forums are quickly growing and most of you do not see the flood of Spam reports, reports of flaming, reports of derailing, reports of whatever that come through on a regular basis. It came down to needing folks who are on regularly and active to help with those problems as well as having folks who participate in the RP forum and other forums as I don't have time to make sure things are being kept nice in the RP section. (And honestly, I only step in there when reports come in)

We appreciate that there is interest in modding by others. And down the road we may add more folks, but for right now, we're still working through the additions.

Cheers.
