A Staff Announcement

You might have noticed the Staff team was down to one moderator, which put us in a strange unbalanced 4:1 ratio of admins to mods. Well, we've solved that!!! Forget mods – our loveliest Lady has stepped up to become an admin! <333

This means all staff members will now be able to help with all of your maintenance needs, app acceptances et al, so congratulations to Lady, congratulations to us, and congratulations all round!



Also to celebrate, Lady is changing her main account from Faustus Prewett to the adorable Philomena Sprout. Useful to note for tagging purposes ;)

• HUFFLEPUFF: Calla Potts
  
• RAVENCLAW: Nicodemus Dursley
  
• SLYTHERIN: Leander Hobday
