I'm not gonna beg for them to give me Admin earlier, instead i will use this time to take a break and focus on important stuff in my personal life.

I hope you understand.

Don't worry, I'll be back, as good as new.

Keep on Branching...

So what does it mean for me?

Basically, I will not be able to spotlight levels for 2 weeks. I'm not mad at the team for this decision of demoting me, as I believe it was the best I could've been given. As a moderator, I can still check the "totally reasonable" level reports :)

On top of all that, i had also been simultaneously managing my gigacollab, and i didn't wanna disappoint people who decided to participate in it. As i tried to focus on more important things, i didn't think much about spotlighting, and well, here we are.

Now it is important to mention that my bad decisions on some spotlights were caused by me going through a lot of events in my life at once, some of which were really exhausting and frustrating. I'm not going to specify what all i had to go through, but it's been a lot.

In my time as a spotlighter i was doing a good job most times, doing what i was told to do, spotlighting spotlight-worthy levels. But obviously, spotlighters have their rules, and i managed to slip sometimes...

A lot of times...

Eventually, it all led to this.

So the silver badge means that I'm not a spotlighter, rather a lower role of in-game Moderator.

First of all, no, this isn't permanent, as i have been temporarily demoted to a Moderator for 2 weeks.

And there is actually a good reason for this.

0.3 is real

See? All we had to do was to wait patiently.

A whole month late

wait another year

i wish we could edit messages on bluesky :P
