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!

I may be a newcommer.
But actually, been around for many years.
I wanted my old account deleted because this site became a time waster for me.
Deciding not to spent that much time on here, I reached out for a moderator, asking them politely to erase my account for that reason.
Then, the days passed by, and I didn't got a reply.
At the fourth day, I reached a different moderator telling him:

If you do not delete my account, I will post rom and porn sites on every forum.
BAM! Sudden ban! It worked in less than 5 minutes.

So, what I'm trying to tell you here, is...
NEW MODERATORS... PLEASE DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE THIS.
If an user is asking you for help, do listen to that user and while I do understand that you're not all day here for us (the regular and common user) take some time to check if everything's going right.

Tfw you basically ask the new mods to ban you on the spot

Hey man, I've been itching to make use of my new supervisor powers. Supers have banhammers...but I...I can ban users with a rolled up newspaper smack!

Depends... if I get bored of this site again, then I'll guess I'll menace some of the new mods again.
Or necrobump an 10 year old thread from the depths of GBATemp.
Actually the principal reason why I created a new account was because I have a Smart TV that needs to be repaired, but can't find the problem.
So was thinking 'bout asking here if someone knew what the problem was.

But some days ago, my father and I knew from a neighbour that can fix the TV.... so

Sure. Any admin, super or any of the editors

 

[RustInPeace]

New promotions, not long after, site is inaccessible for a while. An omen.

Why, that’s ban evading! You shall be banned very soon, as soon as the new moderation team has time to do this insignificant task.

mods can't ban, only supers and above have that god-given right

 

[SirNapkin1334]

Oh. Maybe he should have asked a super to ban him

 

[Deleted User]

What are you talking about?

Why that experience is ban worthy?
I was just pointing out that sometimes mods (or whoever has the power to delete an account) pass on a regular user's request to get their account deleted.
While it'll be easier just to "leave unnactive your account" in my case, a complete ban was very needed.

 

[Kioku]

It's not banning I'm particularly worried about.

After being suspended or banned anyone caught sneaking back onto the forum under an alias or "suspension/ban evading" will be banned.

You basically just walked in and said you broke that one lol

Holy, now I get it.
So that's a rule I didn't knew about.
Ha.
Okay, fair enough.
I'll just wait pattiently.
PS: No, really, wasn't aware of that rule.

And to be honest, I created another account to ask for help with a Smart TV that won't turn on.

 

[Dionicio3]

Congrats to everyone!

Now I'll just sit in a corner hiding from all of the new scary people

 

[Darth Meteos]

Congrats everyone, especially @linuxares, @gamesquest1 and @Quantumcat
