staff Free Hugs Inside

[Jeric 46,835]

I swear @Sir Hugsalot has a name that I could pun for weeks. I feel disappointed that I chose an easy one. So I’ve known the guy since I joined April of 2014. Back when we were both users the forum was full of hijinx and shenanigans, most good, some toxic. Hugs was in the positive column. A natural jokester, he always had me laughing. 
 

Late last year I had the first opportunity to work with him. He is honest, authentic, and deeply cares about this community. Though not exact, he shares a similar philosophy of moderation, and will be able to persevere among any challenge as he develops his own style. Kindness, empathy, and humor are his calling cards. 
 

In the recent years, Moderation has been discussed in sites and servers outside of this community. The words I’ve seen and heard, were not entirely inaccurate. I believe that Hugs may be a force for positive change that MLPF moderation needs. It just takes a few with a gentle, fair, and understanding approach to make a difference. The users will be able to approach him in confidence as a peer and in some cases as a friend. He is fair, and that is the greatest compliment I can give a person. 
 

So effective immediately Hugs will perform dual roles as the newest member of the Moderation team and maintain being a member of Events. He lives in Europe so let’s do him the honor of having him wake up with all the good vibes in here and also on his profile. Bury the guy with virtual hugs.

It is wonderful to see this. You deserve it. I look forward to working with and seeing you around in the staff in the future! You truly do deserve it.

[Rikifive 23,495]

Now I know who'll be making sure the hug reaction isn't misused. 

and if someone does... 

 

Oh look, the rules have been updated.. 

 

 

Anyway, congratulations @Sir Hugsalot!  With you here, the forums will be even more polished.

Choose your reaction wisely, Celestia is watching...

...I was told there would be hugs...

Also, congrats @Sir Hugsalot! May your rule be the friendliest, hug-filled rule ever. Or else I'll be coming for the throne next.

 I would recommend adding yet another rule...

Wątróbka, from now on is officially illegal on mlpforums.com. Consumption attempt shall be met with Sir having a grumpy face and refusing to hug the consumer for 0,0000001 seconds.

 Yeah, I was going to mention, that with you being a mod, I'm so done joking about wątróbka. 

But you know, let's enforce the 4-step instructions on how to consume wątróbka.
