Hello!
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who applied to the staff. There was a good number of applications for us to review and many great candidates. I am sorry that we could not select them all.
Please note that this new selection of moderators is not necessarily permanent! Sometimes people don't mesh well with the role, sometimes people find themselves too busy to continue, or some people merely find the responsibilities to be a chore, and that's okay. If you've submitted an application, you may be contacted in the future about possible openings on the staff. There really were a lot of good candidates, we just couldn't accept every single one.
And if you didn't get in on the last application period, then don't worry! If any openings on the staff become available or if the staff feel that more members are needed, a new application thread will be opened and those who did not or could not previously submit an application can do so.
Now for the new staff. You may review the full list of staff here.
Our new staff members are GhostlyMaiden, Meishali, RiniKett,. Sorcini, Teadrinker, and Kylin, whose name isn't applied yet due to technical difficulties. In addition, Graeham has agreed to become a supermoderator.
You might have also noticed some new name colours, so here is an overview of each label and their role on the staff.
The administrator is responsible for, as the name implies, administration of the site. The administrator is mainly responsible for:
The supermoderators are responsible for the following:
The moderators are responsible for the following:
Lastly, a new colour, the hardhats, are technical staff responsible for the following:
Again, thank you to all of the applicants and welcome to the new staff members.

- Remove duplicate posts
- Lock threads until review by a supermoderator only in notably egregious cases
