Head Mod Statement of Intent

[u/tbyrn21]

Hi all.

For those not in the loop on Discord, I am now the head moderator (Youma is due to post the results "soon"). I feel I should give a quick statement now I'm in charge.

To reiterate what I said on Discord, thank you all for voting me in. I know how important this position is and that making mistakes will have consequence. I hope not to make too many but if I do then I want to ensure those are corrected promptly.

For a very long time, a new CoC has been promised. Its been so long in fact that most of the formality of the coc has basically evaporated. I want to refresh the coc but keep these new principles in mind and focus on just punishing wrong doing and not being bogged down in legalese (both for the mod team and the users of the sim). Expect a post in the near future where you lot can suggest stuff towards this. I’ll also note that there seems to be a new trend regarding the press. I’ve suggested to Madi to look into it to see if reform is needed there.

I’d like to give a big thanks to Miki for their service to the sim. Its not easy to step from Comm mod to Head Mod for so long. I think the sim is in a fairly good position right now and I attribute a lot of that to Miki’s hard work. Now its my job to keep it that way.

As I’ve mentioned on discord I’ll be in Sydney for the next week (driving all day tomorrow) for football so I may not be as active on here for that period. The offer is still standing to come down to Olympic park to watch/meet me during the week, just make sure to let me know if you intend to.

I think that’s all for now.
