I think this is a very good summary of what has happened.
Just to clarify, if you never have been informed, Samlad and Nicole have decided to move onto the next chapter with their lives and careers.
We miss them both, but although their status has "banned user" in it, this is not a good reflection on what has happened.
When we close accounts, we need to chose the option "banned user", this will be changed in few weeks time, so that it is clearer.
Patricia is still within the company, however far too busy to moderate the forums, she answers her PMs when it is possible.
Floki is doing great job and is widely liked amongst everyone, he is also the door between the new and old.
Totally adorable. Sarky but harmless.
Jorge has not been mentioned, but I need to mention him here as he is just one big cutey, who has got a giant heart.
To be honest they both do.
As for myself, I am on a mission and a learning curve at the same time.
I hope I can fill in my predecessors' shoes, but you know it is a very difficult task, as they were dearly loved and respected among the forums.
I can only do my best, try to listen and learn.
Yes, we have introduced the night time mods, they are not fully trained in all mods' duties, as they also share Advertising Team duties over night.
Which means, some of the issued brought overnight might be placed on hold, threads temporarily removed / hidden / closed and the decisions might be left to us, the day time mods.
I am not sure about new community mods recruited within the users, this is something the Management have put on hold for now.
Of course we get to know you all here, more or less, as much as we can, mainly form your posts, actions and your general attitude towards other users and mods.
Although we do not do it now, let's not say never.
I will keep you up to date with any changes made in the future.
