Regarding Ad questions and Editorial:
As some of you may have noticed, the header and footer of the site have been updated. For a brief moment they were displaying ads, but that has been disabled.
You may need to clear your browser's cache in order for these changes to display properly for you.
The new header/footer on the site is in preparation for the new editorial news system that TG will be bringing online in the next few days.
TG will have a complete editorial staff that will be focused on news/achievements/events relating to competitive video game playing, and will carry a distinct voice and perspective on the subject.
The editorial experience of TG will be economically supported in part by on site ad placement.
The submission and adjudicative experience of TG will not have on site ad placement.
We are excited about the upcoming addition of editorial and we look forward to the increased TG presence it will build.
Regarding the Tribunal function and site moderation:
The level of ongoing toxicity that seems to continue to permeate the community has not settled down to acceptable levels despite TG allowing a 3 year time period for it to naturally do so.
Therefore, Twin Galaxies administration has decided that it is now time to retire the member tribunal function and replace it with direct and heavy administrative moderation.
While the Tribunal system has been successful in many regards, the slow nature of its ability to apply moderation control allows for too much pollutive noise to exist on the site for too long a period before things escalate high enough for it to perform its function - and this has resulted in an unacceptable amount of negative initial experiences for new members coming into the environment.
Furthermore, admin has been instructed to utilize a heavy hand in its application of warnings, thread/comment deletions, suspensions and bans - all of which are purely at the discretion of admin's judgement.
Admin is under no obligation to issue a warning of any kind before taking action. Again, this is all at admin's discretion.
The overall goal is to ensure a safe and family friendly environment for all Twin Galaxies members to participate securely within. We are going to strongly discourage toxic behavior and reward more positive interaction.
We are aware that some members may disappointed with these policy and site changes, however after much thought and discussion we feel strongly that this is the right management direction for Twin Galaxies as it continues to grow.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
