I once did moderating for a forum whose owner referred to us as "Apostolic wreakers of havoc". Fortunately it never got as serious as the name made it sound!

Good luck to the new Mods. You are gonna need it.

Been many years when I have done it. Been a mod for Many games , My own BF servers and a few dating apps ( you would be shocked what I saw ) I was being a bit sarcastic because of my once in a while saltiness on the WG forum but if you guys need help I can Stow it and help in any way I can.

@I_cant_Swim_ - As previously discussed, happy to do moderation. It's probably worth a discussion, since the "official" site had forum mods moderating across forums, which worked well in terms of load balancing (we would often hit 1,000 posts a day when it was busy)

Also happy to have @Col_NASTY on board. Yup, you occasionally got salty, but you were also one of the folks where we could discuss *why* warnings happened, and generally ended up understanding each other's point of view. Thank you for being "agreeably disagreeable" IMO it's important to let folks have enough latitude to disagree (politely) - it's how I have learned a lot about this game that we all seem to enjoy!

I use it at Christmas as one of my Avatars for the Holidays 😀

[Chobittsu]

If you need more moderators I can throw my hat in the ring, I was one of the OG forum volunteer mods

[I_cant_Swim_]

Thanks, mate! Will get back to you shortly. 
SureBridge has pointed out a few weaknesses in our mod tools, I’ll be taking a look at that first tomorrow. 

[Efros]

 I hope they have lots of storage space for all the torches and pitchforks that'll appear the next time WG screw up... It's update Wednesday so anytime soon!

Good luck guys, not a job I envy!

No no it’s scary. It also hilarious and has been stolen.

Likewise, Pratchett and Douglas Adams are two of my favourite authors. There are a few users on NA with Pratchett related IGN.

[Guest Capt_of_Satisfaction]

Thanks for the kind words. 
I’m mostly on General Discussion but happy to keep an eye on the techies as well ✌🏼

I will also throw some $$$ in when we get the donations going

Looks like the forum is going to be a huge success!

yay!

Thanks to Swim!
