Hey everyone,
I'd like to update everyone with a few changes to our Moderator staff.
First, I'd like to introduce two new members to our team; FileTrekker [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/FileTrekker] and Nemmerle [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Nemmerle]
You may have already seen FileTrekker in Mod Chat and sporadically throughout the forums. He's one of the administrators from GameFront that has accepted my request that he come over and help out a bit on these forums. I've known the guy for what seems like forever and is always a level head in a heated situation.
Nemmerle is a super-mod from the GameFront forums who will provide his expertise to make these forums a place that everyone enjoys visiting. He's a lot like me. He's rational, and prefers to settle an issue through talking before having to act by giving an infraction.
Aside from a small period of adjustment that anyone would require, these guys know what to do. They've been in a moderator level position for ages now and have plenty of experience dealing with nearly every type of user. Show them respect, and they'll return it in kind.
Also, it pains me that I must announce the departure of two moderators; Elfgore [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Elfgore] and Katherine Kerensky [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Katherine+Kerensky]
Elfgore has voluntarily left due to moderator burnout. It happens to the best of us. He was an outstanding moderator and simply wanted to go back to posting as a normal user again. He always has a home here at the Escapist.
Katherine Kerensky has voluntarily left for personal reasons. As with any member of the staff, real life issues always have priority and respect is always given to those who must depart because of it. Like Elfgore, she'll always have a home here at the Escapist.
So please, give our new moderators a warm welcome and let our former ones know they'll be missed!
