Through much discussion both at the time of his first demotion, and discussion now, we have decided to demote Star king due to being both unresponsive and too busy in his life to do his job since the Runolympics. The staff has been working very hard to be more active and available to the community, and anyone who cannot do that will need to step down. This has been a difficult decision, but the staff agrees that it is for the best.
We are currently going to see if FF and MoD can handle the workload, and take action if necessary, but we are not currently planning to replace SK and hire another Lemod.

Sad to see another legend go.

I really don't wanna go on the same bad trail again, but for now it looks to me like only two lemods will hardly work well on long sight ... since lemon work is far more than approving levels. We need people to organize events, we need people for serious discussions about size changes, and the less staff members we already have, the bigger is the chance that a gap will break up due to one or two person's sudden inactivity / busyness etc.

All I want to say gently is, if it appears that there's urgent need for a new lemon, I'm ready.

EDIT: Veso, I already have a lemod application in the UCP for 9 months lawl

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Yes, it is sad to see SK go. He did help me when I was just starting my LeMod work. But seeing his activity dropped a lot since the Runolympics, I guess that's just fair. I hope you have luck with stuff you have been going on with real life.

Also, please post some wreckingly badass levels sometimes so I can eventually raise my 5-star counter. :P

I'm sure MoD will help you some FF.
Also seeing how there are only two mods and glomods, I'm sure it's possible to have two lemods handle things.

Shoot. I sent a request for lemod as well, but I'm having second thoughts about it.

I dont know how much clearer I could've been. Let me put it into perspective; SK was demoted for activity as one reason right? That means MoD and FF have been the only ones approving levels all this time and SK being gone is no real change for them. We do not need a new level mod.

Hey, it's not like I really wanted to be one. I only sent a request just to see what would happen. I understand the current conditions right now. There was a reason I had second thoughts about it.
