Hi everyone,

As you might have seen a while ago, we put out a listing for a new social media rep to help us share information with the community and bring your feedback to our development team. We had a lot of success with that process and have added two new people to our community team. One of these new people is starting today and the other person is likely to start shortly after 3.13 launches.

The motivation behind this is currently that Bex and Natalia each have growing responsibilities behind the scenes and need an extra pair (or two) of hands to ensure that we're keeping our high standard of communication going forward. This doesn't mean that you'll no longer see Bex or Natalia - we will still be around!

With these new additions to our team, we've decided to create a group account which we can all reply from where necessary and even fellow developers can pop on to share one-off updates.

We aim to continue with the communication experience that you're used to and looking for opportunities to improve things over time. In the meantime, we just wanted to give you a quick heads up about what this account is about so that it's not confusing once we start replying to queries.

Thanks for all of your support. We're very excited to be bringing new pals into the fold.

I'm impressed that Community_Team wasn't taken. How many other names did you try first?

Lol, just 'CommunityTeam'.

I really dislike such an impersonal account.

You'll still see named account responses, like from me, Chris and Mark for example. This account is more for exchanging general information.

Ok. Serious question though.. Is Bex going to allow them access to her .Gif/meme archive, or are they going to have to build their own?

:)

I guess time will tell.

Hell I swear Natalia's account got banned ages ago when Bex was away exactly for the account sharing problem. It got reverted eventually but they weren't immune to the problem.

Unless they got greenlit to do this I wonder if they're just gonna get banned again.

That was a slightly different issue where a lot of the staff working in the office, upvoted one of Rory's posts and it was flagged for that. Quite a few people were temporarily banned for that. If we avoid upvoting people's posts, hopefully it's okay.

Yeah, it would suck to see her duck out.

Don't worry - I'm not going anywhere. I'll be supervising our social media reps and keeping a broad overview of everything.

Didn't Bex say she just used image search and didn't have a private collection in the past?

Yep, although I actually can't remember the last time I posted a gif. Over time the responses to them have been less positive (even as far as to summarise that I only post gifs instead of useful information) so I've been avoiding it to see how it goes without them.

What about random Mark_GGG appearing out of nowhere when there's a mechanic discussion? He's still around right?

Yeah, I don't want to speak for him but I'm sure it's likely you'd still hear from him. This shouldn't affect that.
