After a long review process - 14 of our current and former staff took part in this two-round vote, with over 120 applications in total; we have chosen to elect 10 new moderators who will be assigned to different forum categories. In alphabetical order:

AlanJohn: PC, Other systems, Other discussions
DinohScene: Microsoft consoles, Sony consoles, Other discussions
Flame: 3DS, NDS/i, Other systems
gamesquest1: Switch, 3DS, Other systems
Joe88: Switch, PC, Other discussions
linuxares: Switch, 3DS, Wii, Wii U
osaka35: PS4, Switch, 3DS
Quantumcat: Switch, 3DS, Other discussions
WeedZ: 3DS, Sony consoles, Other discussions
x65943: Switch, GBAtemp Network discussions, Wii, Wii U

Additionally, Foxi4 has been promoted to Global Moderator, and our beloved Chary is now a Senior Editor (a new group with supervisor-level mod powers). Congratulations to all our new recruits and promoted staff!

I'd also like to say a word about some of our friends who are officially retiring: raulpica, TwinRetro, GeekyGuy, and ProtoKun7. They'll be sticking around as Former staff. They have been amazing people to work with and I'm sure a lot of you will be sad to see them go as well. But guys, if you ever want to get back in the game we'll always keep an open door for you.

I am going to PM everyone who applied and didn't get elected. Remember this is an election so all votes are subjective. I won't be able to provide you with specific reasons why you weren't chosen by the 14 voters (simply because it's a vote, and we vote for people, not against) but I can tell you that if you keep a positive behavior, if you continue actively contributing to the community, you might very well get another shot when we decide we need a fresh batch of mods again. Thank you everyone for making this community awesome!

Its about time we had a new set of slaves on the site.

Take care of the temp my loves.

If you ever betray it I will come to your house and stab you with a knife.

 

[lAkdaOpeKA]

Its nice to see new mods, but sadly the moderator color doesn't really fit with tempStyle 2 Dark.

True, it's kinda hard to read

 

[KJ1]

Congratz all!

 

[gudenau]

Congrats!

Seeing Dino was quite a surprise!

 

[mthrnite]

Go forth and moderate!

 

[Yepi69]

Oh shit, my bois @DinohScene , AnalJohn (@AlanJohn ) and @Quantumcat got elected
Hope you guys do a fantastic work.

Congrats!

Seeing Dino was quite a surprise!

Him and @Lilith Valentine are like the community's mascot, literally everyone knows them so it was expected that one of them turned out to be a mod.

 

[Hells Malice]

Is this April Fools come early?
Good lord. Glad they're restricted to certain sections.

Congrats to the few that deserve it, won't name names but a few definitely deserved the promotion at least.

Also congrats to Foxi and Chary

 

[Foxi4]

I've been given extraordinary power and I'll endeavour to use it for good. Pray that I don't use it for evil.

 

[Chary]

I'm honored to have this position, and I'll make sure to do the best job possible!

Congrats to the new blue mods, and Foxi as well!

 

[DeslotlCL]

Congratulations to everyone! Wish you guys the best of luck and hope we can build a better comminity together

 

[Yepi69]

I've been given extraordinary power and I'll endeavour to use it for good. Pray that I don't use it for evil.

You already report all of my shit on Facebook, how is this gonna be different
Jk, congrats you deserve it.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I would have applied, but I'm not very keen on all those system hacking to feel proper for the job. I'm mostly just useful for writing reviews and assisting people with help I know how to solve, so unless there is a position for that. I'll be glad knowing I'm a simple user with just cheering on from the sidelines.

Good job everyone and please keep this place great.

But those blue names are kinda a eyesore for this dark theme. So I hope the theme gets fixed for that.

 

[brickmii82]

I've been given extraordinary power and I'll endeavour to use it for good. Pray that I don't use it for evil.

Nah I’ll pray for evil. Sometimes a little evil does a lot of good

 

[Xzi]

Lots of recognizable names, gratz guys. Well deserved.

 

[Armadillo]

Yay for most, shame one breaks my ignore list. Bit out of order that, maybe can find a greasemonkey script to fix that.

 

[DKB]

Hm, one of them is on my ignore list as well, damn.

 

[Deleted User]

shit
now i gotta actually think before i type if @linuxares and @Quantumcat are mods

 

[bowser]

Is this the same AlanJohn who used to be an annoying little $%#^ and got banned a couple of times a long time ago?

Anyway, congrats to all! Including AlanJohn

 

[Devin]

Congrats to @DinohScene and all of the other new moderators. May those Chinese spambots know your scorn.
