Hello, o’ Scholars of Shen Zhou! Today’s update introduces some pretty significant changes relevant to the forum’s leadership team and their availability when you need to speak with someone. As you know, we recently posted a number of moderator application threads in the Public Council. We’ve finished going over them, and have decided to add four moderators to our team! A few other members who posted in those threads are also under consideration for possible second additions to the moderator team later in, or toward the end of, this Summer.

We have added the following moderators to our team!
Please feel free to give them a warm welcome!
Dynasty Warriors Training
- Kongming’s Prodigy
- SunXia
Literature Academics and Philosophy
- Catalyst
Gamers’ Haven
- Marc
Please remember that other members who applied are under consideration for a second round of moderator additions a little later this year! I would like to thank everyone who applied. As you probably know, we don’t usually add many moderators to our team, and our team itself usually remains rather small. Even if you weren’t selected, please don’t despair. You may be under consideration for possible second additions, and there will be other moderator openings in the future (in fact, it is possible another opening or two may appear fairly soon).

Administrators in the Moderation Team
We are now adding board administrators as official moderators to the forums they frequent. We are doing this to help you, our members, understand who is best to contact in each area. If you see an Administrator listed as a moderator in an area of the forum, you can contact them with the regular questions or moderation issues that you would have normally shared with a moderator. Below are some of the initial additions, and there may be more in the near future.
- James to Sanguo Yanyi Symposium and Romance of the Three Kingdoms
- Kong Wen to Sanguo Yanyi Symposium, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Dynasty Warriors Training
- - - - - - - - - -
Other Noteworthy Changes
Moderation for Foreign Kingdoms has been shifted over to the Forum Administration usergroup. This means that the forum’s administrators are the moderator contacts for issues in that forum.

Inactive Moderators
The following moderators have been removed from the moderation team due to inactivity. This has nothing to do with their performance, as we valued the work and contributions of each and every one of them. Each is welcome to contact us in the future if they would like to re-join our team. We thank you
very much for the time you shared with us, and for your friendship.

Contacting Moderators in the Future!
Why did we make so many changes? First, so issues in the forum are attended to a little more promptly. Our team had become quite sparse in some areas of the forum, and it was starting to show in the way some problems were handled. The most important reason?
Every moderator listed in a forum is now an active moderator, and someone you can contact with questions in that forum. This is a standard we are going to maintain, and in the future moderators that go inactive for months will also be removed, with the option of rejoining the team if they start frequenting the forum again.
