Development Director

Hello everyone!

New Development Director

It has been discussed among the staff and we have agreed that Rui should be our development director.
Rui has contributed positively to the site and has always openly shared his ideas. He has also come up with various suggestions that he will present to the community sometime soon.

New Spells Section

I am also glad to announce that the new Spells section is nearly complete. I am working on the final import script.

Edit: The section is finished and the spells have been imported!

Hi there, everyone.

As you know, lately there has been a lot of trouble regarding the Map Section. The first thing I'd like to ask is for everyone to settle down. Pressure is something none of us like, and the recent polemics have put a lot of pressure on Ralle.

As the new Development Director, I have prepared a temporary help package. Some of those measures include the appointment of various people to mini-moderators. They are all mentioned below by alphabetic order, and all of them will receive an invitation to join the "Map Mini-Jury" social group (which will be created soon):

• Ash
• Asomath
• Captain Griffen
• Cba81
• (added on 11-Oct-2008 13:41) CMarket
• Kaitech[SanD]
• Linaze
• NearbyHermit
• Steel_Stallion

This measure is meant to help Map Moderators more quickly determinate whenever a resource is OK for approval or not.
I understand that the majority of you were expecting a brand new system for the Maps, but right now, I'm not willing to put more work on Ralle's shoulders. Let's see how the mini-jury works out.
Of all the people mentioned above, I inform those who were never on the staff that getting the mini-moderator status is no guarantee that you'll ever become a Map Moderator. You have been appointed to mini-moderator because the Hive administration is trusting that your work will give a nice contribution to the Hive's map database. This is not a promotion or anything.


In addition to this, I will post a thread about forum reorganization in which I wish to gather all the feedback I can.


All the best,
The Hive Workshop Administration

Congratulation Rui,

Hope the map section could be more neat under your management.

*Off-Topic : You not yet accept me as your buddy ?

Rui was most definitely the next best man for the job. Don't forget to keep an eye on the Jass section, though :P
As for those minimods, well let's just say I'm curious as to what some of those reviews will look like.

And, GREAT, a new spell section coming up! FINALLY! :D

Interesting choice of minimods. :S

Congrats!

Congrats to Rui - and I agree with Pyritie concerning the minimods

Who the hell's going to punish all the double posters and spammers, if not Rui!

Your reasons for repping me are hilarious.
I should have known that people would be repping me all the time now that I'm in this position >.<

As per the mini-moderators, I repeat: they are not in the staff, they are normal users that can vote for approval or rejection of a resource, they are unable to cause any damage.

EDIT: CMarket, the creator of the Sect of the Holy Mother series, has also been appointed as a mini-moderator.

Congrats Rui, you're a fine dude and I know you'll make all things go right :-) .

Congrats Rui! You are one great development director!

Rui is now the development director???

I'm dead...

Congrats and yeah.

Congratulations!

GRATZ Riu ur gr8 +++rep

Anyway, congratulations Rui, I had a feeling you were going to be the one to be promoted. usually we've disagreed on matters back when I was staff, but I've always respected your opinions and you've always brought possitivity to the table and have done an excellent job moderating your sections. I hope that you will continue to do so.

Also, good choice on the mini-mods, atleast those I know who is. CMarket and Linaze especially seem like great choices in my eyes.

I am glad you were promoted Rui, you have contributed alot and perhaps you can steer things up a bit. (Also glad for position as mini-mod, hopefully I can make difference then.) +rep'd
