Summer 2018 promotions - GBAtemp's New Mod Army

new_mods.png

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!

While I've always been more of a lurker here than anything else I'm actually pretty happy with this list. All active members with a history of positive community engagement. Considering how toxic people can get on here that's sweet music to my ears.

Congrats to all the new recruits! Glad to have you on board! :D

For the outgoing staff, thanks for everything thus far. I do hope you guys still drop by to visit and stuff. :)

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.
And we wonder why we can never have nice things......

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
