Moderation Team Update - April 2016

[caledonianblues]

are we even allowed to talk about this with the mod team?

Not really because now I want to know what the three new animals are!

On the subject of new moderators, I second the proposal to invite Ludante. He's very nice, always a gentleman on the forums and tries to help whenever he can. I was also going to propose Hawkeye. I've hunted with him a few times and chatted with him a lot on TeamSpeak. He's a nice guy too and is pretty helpful around the forums. He's also retired so has plenty of free time and spends most of it on the forums anyway.

Bosloe I had second thoughts about some time ago (and can't remember why now). Anyway thanks for the em$.

Tod:
1) it is three additional animals
2) are we even allowed to talk about this with the mod team?

but you are correct that the signature widget needs a rework

1) I stand corrected :p
2) I was thinking we all had access to the Beta forum & knew. We are all bound by the same NDA though.

I will have to turn "Display Signatures" back on to even see them to determine who is violating...
I've really grown accustomed to how clean & easy to read the forum is without them.

I think David and marc are no beta testers. and only beta testers have access to the beta forum...

Same. I loathe signatures.

Maybe this presents a good opportunity to implement a link between forum accounts and user accounts.

This would be a good idea imo - this way, it would be more difficult for banned users to create fake (forum) accounts. Of course they could do this with a guest (game) account, but we would probably recognize this more easily.

I don't have access to the beta forums. Unfortunately, the new species aren't mentioned in the Mantis Tracker either... (That's how I found out about the polar bear)

I was also going to propose Hawkeye.

That's right, he seems to be nice and his posts are very helpful!

[killertut]

well, mantis is still accessible but is not used anymore

A-ha! So that's the reason why I couldn't find bug reports from the last weeks. I thought the bugs had gone extinct...

So I seem to have forgotten: What exactly were the three new species?

[killertut]

ask alena if we are allowed to tell you. i feel bad already telling you that there is gonna be new species...

It's okay, I was just trying to make a joke. I'll just wait until they are released... or until the next retail box reveals hints that someone of the community finds and posts as usual.

Dunno about you Marc but I feel discriminated against here. Everyone's in the know except you and me. And here's Tod and Danielle dangling carrots in front of us

I think it's more prestigious to be just a moderator. Being a beta tester and a moderator is so uncool. Agreed?
