After the recent troll outbreak, I had suggested that we will need to add to our staff.

Daniel, Plaxton, and SVR have done an incredible job as admins on this site. But even they will admit that they can't always be here to monitor what happens. And the vandalism that happened a few weeks back show that we still need additional help.

To that end, after talking to both, and letting Angry Hearts in on what has been going on, starting today, I am promoting both I Am MonkeyBoy and RUNEPATRIARCH from content moderators to administrators.

Since being named moderators to the FSW, both have performed the duties above and beyond what was expected. Both showed good judgment in their roles, and have been quick to inform the admins about vandals that need to be dealt with. As with Daniel and Plaxton when they were first promoted to admins, I am giving both IAMB and RUNE the jobs on a 90-day trial basis (end date 03/29/2019). After a review, if they show that they are able to capably perform the responsibilities of administrator, the positions will become permanent.

I am not expecting either gentleman to figure out how to be good administrators on a wiki. Not right away. There is always a lot of learning to do, a lot of it "on the fly." There is no actual "rulebook" on how to be an good in this role. A lot of the things that both will learn will happen as things come up around here. I strongly believe that both IAMB and RUNE will make good additions to the staff of this site.

To fill the content moderator roles that both new admins will be leaving, and after to speaking to each of them, I am promoting the following four members to content moderators: Skyline97, JK55556, RedRubyTwilight, and SkinnyLedgend.

Content Moderators are special editors to the wikia and have some of the privileges of the admins, including rollback (being able to undo edits without having to do the extra steps) so the mods are able to clean up the mess left by trolls, sockpuppets, and vandals quickly. At this time, none will have the ability to block people from contributing to the site.

On behalf of AH, I would like to congratulate all six on their new roles on the Flipline Studios Wikia. Allow them the time to transition into their roles properly.
