Greetings community,

It's been a memorable year here at SteamGifts and I felt I've helped out a bit around here. I've made a lot of friends in the process and tried to stay active in the community while moderating. Unfortunately, the activity over the last few months has truly been exhausting for just one person, and I haven't been able to keep up. A few dedicated users in the community have been promoted to (Support) to assist with tickets, but it's only helped with organizing a backlog of tickets in the hundreds.

Fortunately, those Support members will eventually be promoted to moderators on the site and we'll have a full blown staff. We hope this helps many issues plaguing the site, such as requests taking too long or suspicious activity not being dealt with in a timely manner. The FAQ has the new staff listed and this will be updated accordingly to reflect their new positions when the system is ready. As many have noticed, support already received categories to better organize tickets.

The admin is currently working on other helpful updates that will greatly aid the new team. They'll be loaded with features that will make a more robust and efficient bunch than this dinosaur. While I will be stepping down, I won't be leaving the community or abandoning the newly appointed mods when they're just starting. I'll try to remain active and share with them my experiences after moderating SteamGifts solo for a little over nine months, but I will no longer be the primary moderator.

I volunteered to assist moderating SteamGifts when Cult was still boss during the fall of 2011, but due to personal reasons, he had to drop out of the community. I loved the community and what we do around here, so I've dedicated a lot of time and effort in keeping things in order. When I could no longer remain on top of the increasing demands of the community, I decided to step down for the same reasons. It's best for the community and will give me time to start knocking out my gaming backlog. I'll finally be able to start on those purchased during last year's Summer Sales. ;)

Best regards,
loko

You may be an old dinosaur, but you were the best dinosaur there ever was. I hereby christen this new, rare lifeform lokonopicus giveaway removicus. May he graze through his backlog forever in the Great Steam Sale in the sky.

You were an amazing Moderator and I believe everyone in the community is grateful for the efforts you have put forward. Enjoy your time off now, and get back to gaming! You have been a huge part of the success of SteamGifts and nobody will ever be able to take that away.

His words are really shared by most of the community, I believe. Even the "silent" part of it which is not so active in the forum (myself included) have noticed all that you've done and are grateful for it, as he said! :)

Good luck, Loko. :) Now you can look back on all the fake giveaways you've removed, to ensure the safety of the SG Community.

If the data is proof of safety, I took a screenshot of every giveaway I've removed since November. Few gigabytes of images in PNG format, thousands of images. Safest place on the planet!

No one wields a banhammer the way you do, loko. You made this place run, smooth and shiny as a middle-aged man who is fully bald and out in the sun. I appreciate everything you've done for the community, and hope that you won't forget about us as you play all of your games. :)

I think the stress of being a one man mod made you a grumpy man. Hopefully the time off will de-stress you and make you happy again! :D
