FAO All Members: Forum Staff Announcement

[Lex]

Hi folks,

A staff review has been discussed over the past three years (it's really been that long - it's cropped up every now and then) just in terms of staff activity re: posting etc., most recently Yop made a thread asking specific staff members if they were going to be around and reached out to them directly through email/ discord. The thread was opened 7 weeks ago and hasn't received any response.

The following people have been made Staff Emeritus (formerly Super Moderators):

Cat Rage Room (MOG) - Last activity 10-FEB-2018
Ryushikaze - Last activity 16-JUL-2018

Both of these dudes have a fairly legendary history on the board and have been mods longer than I've even been on staff. However even prior to their last post date their activity was too sporadic to really justify continuing as staff, so the decision has been taken to destaff them.

I want to say thanks to them both for serving the TLS community all these years.

We will be recruiting 1-2 new staff members in the coming period - we don't really need them right now but it's best to be prepared for when the forum gets busier as it surely will in 2019

I've heard so many good things about Mog and Ryu in the past. How exciting that we're entering a new turnover though! Is choosing a mod based on community consensus? I hope so, cause I already know who my top picks for mod will be Can't wait for further announcements!!

Generally there are nominations followed by votes - we may put certain criteria on it however, due to time zone considerations - i.e. if there are two spots we might say one from EU and one from NA, but that's not written in stone. It'll just be based on site needs

I saw Ryu on Discord the other day, but so nobody's heard from Mog since February? :/

I saw Mog online briefly near the start of November if that’s any consolation? ? So he might lurk, but isn’t too active, no. Wish he was tho! Always enjoyed what he had to contribute to the politics and debate section.

I checked both their activity on TLS; neither had posted on the current TLs software yet, and Mog hadn't posted since February at least; I don't know if I spotted his last activity time.

Both are long time lurkers and will be missed <3 God speed fellas
