    Do you mean CMs or something about the technical aspects of the forum?

    We know Gina was let go, but Jessica, Kevin, Hadeostry, and Amy I saw post.

    Edit: Saw Icy closed a thread yesterday so still here too.

    I think they are everyone I recognize.

    I haven't seen Icy yet? Or I missed it. Hope they are still here.

    About last one, closed my thread, so still here, confirmed.

    I haven't seen any mods on today and my request to close a thread I made that has been answered hasn't happened yet.

    I understand that. I just hoped it wasn't because they were running on less staff now, too.

    They arent moderators. They are community managers.

    The moderators are Icy, and Hadeostry and GregoryV.

    They're forum managers regardless of official title. Moderators moderate and help people.

    They have different duties.

    The moderators make sure posters stay complient with the forum posting guidelines. They snip where needed and remove posts, and lock posts, etc..

    Kevin and Amy announce information and are in contact with the teams, and communicate with the players, and I don't even know what all else.

    If they all had the same responsibilities they wouldn't have different titles.

    One just posted in my thread. They are about, but I guess they are keeping a low profile as every time they show people ask about the layoffs and they know as much as we do atm.

    I think they almost always keep a low profile. The forums are also not the only part of their job.

    I'm talking about the moderators, not the community managers.

    I always wondered why it mattered that much if a thread was locked. Everyone was already done talking about it and it fell off the first page already anyway.

    I once had a thread that went on for several pages. It eventually slowed down until no one had posted on it for 3 days so I thought that was that. Then someone made a very long reply, quoting several other posters, and I really didn't want it to get started again since it had already come to a natural conclusion, so I asked for it to be closed.

    I had requested yesterday that a thread be closed because an answer had already been provided, but it just kept going on. But it wasn't closed until today when staff were now available to see my request. In the meantime it did stop on its own.

    Can always just stop responding if you lost interest and eventually the threads die on their own.
