After a bit of discussion, I would officially like to welcome Global Moderators, Prizes, CU, Steve Gavazzi, and Alfonzo - four of the site's most dedicated moderators - to the role of Associate Producer, both in recognition of their dutiful work in maintaining site order, and in order to further their role by giving them the tools needed to deal with spammers and trolls when myself, Marc, and John are not able to be present.
By and large the function is the same as their current statuses now as mega-moderators, but they now have global moderator powers in addition to being able to ban users causing issues. Additionally, all four can now serve as points of contact for Chat issues as well as getting your TPiR Alumnus star!
