I'd like to give a huge thanks to
Coffee for their contributions as moderator the last 22 months. They've modded a multitude of sections - English, Literature, Philosophy and university boards, and provided help, advice and good vibes to countless members of the community, as well as a tonne of resources/threads like
these. With 600 posts and a nearly 2:1 post count/respect ratio, Coffee's impact on AN is clearly immense.
Coffee has elected to step down as moderator. They will still be around (I hope!), so don't be too sad. Thank you so much Coffee for everything you've contributed
As one of our most senior state moderators steps down, I want to encourage everyone in the community to step up. Our moderator team has definitely streamlined in recent months. In 2018 the team has seen Aaron, kelting_meith, elysepopplewell, RuiAce, zsteve, isaacdelatorre, kiwiberry, MisterNeo, Shadowxo and Coffee step down (perhaps more, this is off the top of my head). Many of those were Natmods, many others had modded for close to two years or perhaps even longer.
Point being, 2018 seems to be a year of transitions. We'll absolutely be looking for new moderators in the not too distant future, so get involved. Contribute to the community and lend a hand wherever you can. You could be next!
