Our Newest Honorary Moderator!

Hi all! Today is a big day for the community, because we are gaining another Honorary Moderator. For those who are new, Honorary Moderators are those former community leaders who have made such an impact, that we solidify them as moderators permanently. It is not something that is given out lightly, we’re talking the likes of elysepopplewel, pi, jakesilove - True ATAR Notes legends.

Our newest honorary moderator is...

🎉 RUIACE 🎉

Rui’s first post was back in February 2016, so nearly three years ago. While Elyse, Jake and myself were the ‘original trifecta’ of AN-NSW, Rui was the honorary fourth - Because not only did he keep up with our efforts to grow the ATAR Notes community, he quickly outpaced us. His contributions have been absolutely gargantuan, particularly in the HSC Maths sections of the forums.

ATAR Notes Maths is synonymous with Rui’s name. With over 9500 posts in total, including over 1000 posts in each of the Mathematics, Maths Extension 1 and Maths Extension 2 boards, that’s pretty hard to argue. I mean, his posts alone are a THIRD of MX2 board (which means someone asks a question, he answers, and then they say thanks!). The fact that nearly 600 posts in the Chemistry board is at the end of this paragraph should put it into context - This is a once in ten years level of contribution.

Thank you RuiAce: Honorary Moderator #24

Rui has served the AN community in countless ways. He served as a moderator for years (nearly 700 posts in the mod boards, yikes!), he’s authored (and currently authoring) a heap of ATAR Notes Notes and Topic Tests, and of course he’s been the HSC Maths Extension 2 lecturer (and now Tutesmart tutor!) for the past six series in a row. In doing all of this he’s contributed positivity, energy, and shared his enthusiasm for education and pushing beyond your limits.

You look at Rui’s journey on ATAR Notes the last few years, and it’s amazing what he’s contributed, and what he’s gotten in return. I mean, not many people can get their books into their local Dymocks,  become one of the most famous educators in the state, get a part time job, and even meet their partner (#Ruise), all from deciding to post on an educational forum. But that’s the sort of opportunity AN provides, and that’s the sort of person Rui is - Makes a whole lot of sense, that reciprocity, because AN and Rui are a bit of a match made in heaven.

That match will continue with some beautiful new purple squares under Rui’s profile - Beyond that, not much will change! Rui will still be around to help out on the forums, and of course continues to work with AN IRL. But it would be criminal to let Rui hit 10,000 posts without some recognition of this calibre - His impact on ATAR Notes will seriously be felt for years and years to come.

Feel free to add some further recognition and kudos in the comments! We all know Rui deserves copious amounts of it!

Thank you RuiAce: Honorary Moderator #24

Definitely a worthy award for somebody who goes above and beyond (even outside his own state forums) to help others in need.

100% vouch and look forward to the continued contributions. :)

Rui! Congratulations. I officially give you permission to marry my daughter. (But in all seriousness, we'll done. You are so so so valued on AN and we love you! There's no one more deserving of this recognition. )
