Tip of the Week

This week’s tip is about our winter 2009 moderator draft. In mid-October, we invited a variety of GameSpot users to try out for being a volunteer moderator. When new moderators comes on board, they have limited access to the moderation features and go through a 60-day probation phase. There are many pieces to the process, which can be found in the latest post of the Moderator Collective Union. Without further ado, introducing…the Winter 2009 Modlings!

rragnaar is a five-year registrant who can often be found in the General Games Discussion forum. HarlockJC and Hallenbeck77 are four-year registrants who are often found in the System Wars forum. -Sun_Tzu- is a three-year registrant who can be found in the Off-Topic forum. ttobba07 is a five-year registrant who can be found in both Off-Topic and PC Hardware forum. gmax is a five-year registrant who is often found helping others troubleshoot in the Technical Support forum. Sandpiper121PP is a four-year registrant who can be found in many gamespace forums. Wasdie is old school as it gets with nearly eight years!

If you’re interested in getting to know them better, I also share their moderation history backgrounds in the Moderator Collective Union.
