Promotions!

[Caution]

Hey everyone,

 

We are finally at a spot where we can do some mass promotions for all of the people that are filling into these new ranks! We've been moving people over since yesterday, so it may not be as big of a surprise...but they deserve some recognition anyways!

 

To the Administrative Team, we are promoting Dominic, Fluid, Roux, Kyle, and Reid! They have all earned the trust that comes along with managing a server, and we are sure that they will do some excellent work! Their new job description is:

 

The Administrative Team has overall responsibility for our gaming servers and their operations. Each member either solely or as a group manages one of our various gaming servers.

 

 

• Verify that servers are operational
  
• Reboot dead/lagged servers
  
• Assist in training new admins
  
• Monitor the Teamspeak 3 server
  
• Grant access rights to Teamspeak 3
  
• Search for new maps for all servers
  
• Upload maps to the servers and fast downloads site
  
• Edit map lists & rotations
  
• Issue permanent bans to players via request from SA's
  

 

 

An old rank that a lot of you probably won't recognize is the Administrative Manager! While the role is a tad different, it is still quite important! Mad Dogg is going to be filling this spot, and he has more than earned it! His duties will include the same as anyone on the Administrative Team, but he is going to focus on making sure that the team is running smoothly. He will be reporting directly to the board and will be in charge of the operations that involve our servers!

 

We are still hashing out some of the minor details with the Junior Technical Administrator rank, but it is essentially going to be a stepping stone to full blown TA. We will be ensuring that everyone at this rank is fully up to par before we start releasing full access to them. Not that we don't trust them, we just want to make sure that everyone is on the same page. So, to this rank, we are promoting Repus and Mr.Trololol. Both have been around for awhile, are in good standing with the community, and have amazing tech experience! Their new job description:

 

This position was formed to help improve our gaming environment and increase response time to server issues.

 

 

• Fix technical issues that arise day to day (servers/site)
  
• Research/manage mods, scripts, and plugins to improve our servers
  
• Develop solutions to improve our servers/mods performance
  
• Discover and fix exploits against our servers/site
  
• Assist in data backup operations for the community's data
  
• Assist AO's when problems arise or others are on vacation
  

Onto the Events Team! There were a lot of applications for this rank, but we have chosen Sean, Senpai, Ryo5678 & Fluid! These three will be working hard to make sure that SG is full of shit to keep everyone entertained. Their job description:

 

The events team is responsible for promoting various activities, competitions and general events for the community.

 

 

• Organize, plan, and run events
  
• Manage/Promote special events on our servers
  
• Manage and monitor gaming tournaments
  
• Make sure servers are ready for all special events
  
• Schedule events to fill servers in need via the steam community
  
• Manage and monitor gaming tournaments (ie. SGSL)
  
• Work with Game Divisions to create events that cater to community interests
  

 

And, of course, this team needs a leader! We are going to be putting Leon Mordecai as the Events Manager! He has shown a lot of hard work in his role of managing servers, so we are sure he will do a great job in his role of managing a team of people! His duties are the same as the Events Team, but he will also be reporting directly to the BD's and ensuring that the team is running smoothly.

 

The Media Team also had a lot of applications! While this one was also hard to decide who to accept, we ended up selecting Euro, Lampshade, Post, and ShoieP! All of these people are old time members, and we are happy to have them aboard! Their new details:

 

The Media Team is responsible for managing our design, artwork and graphics for our website and various platforms (in-game, voice, etc.).

 

 

• Manage forum and community website themes and layouts
  
• Manage all forum and community images (awards, rankbars, etc)
  
• Manage forum design sections (signature/avatar requests, etc)
  
• Work with Marketing team to manage branding and community logos/external advertising
  
• Work with Game Divisions to keep in-game branding and design (map textures for SG) up to date and relevant
  
• Work with Marketing team to manage social media accounts (Youtube, Twitch, etc)
  

 

And, last but not least, a the Media Manager is going to be Floffy! Floffy is a very old member here who has done countless amounts of artwork associated with our forums that you see today - including our logo! He will be directly in charge of this team and reporting to the BD's.

 

 

A lot of promotions here! I don't think we've ever promoted this many people before, so it's exciting to give all of these people the opportunity to shine in their own way. We thank you guys for your patience with us releasing this new rank system. Not everything is completed, but we are almost there. There will be more promotions in the near future, and possibly new teams opened up as well. These people will forever be the first be the holders of what we believe will be a rank associated with SG for many years to come! Congrats to you all!
