Spring 2019 promotions - GBAtemp's new writing army

newsy.png

Nearly a year after the moderation team received twelve new helping hands to assist in making GBAtemp the best site it can be, we have also decided to bring on a group of new writers for our Magazine Staff. After a lengthy review process, which meant going through over 50 applications from our lovely users, we have decided on five new contributors. Be sure to give a warm welcome to the latest additions under the orange banner of contributor!

@Xzi
@TheMrIron2
@KiiWii
@geoflcl
@Vhestal

Additionally, @RattletraPM has been promoted to Reporter. I'd also like to thank every single user that sent in an application; it was a joy to see just how many of you were interested in becoming part of GBAtemp's writing staff! I hope you all look forward to seeing new content from our contributors, and watching the site's review center grow further!

Congrats to everyone who made it into the team! I'm looking forward to the content you'll be adding to the site.

As for those of us (like myself) who didn't make the cut, there's always next time. Don't fret and keep polishing up those writing skills.

Good luck, to our new writers! Just remember to never give Yokai Watch or Zelda games a 7/10 or you'll be killed by the comments.

Its called freedom of speech and expression. Writers shouldn't give two shits on what readers have to say on your review. If you didn't like it you didn't like it and that's final. I stand firm on American law and decency.

I'd rate American law and decency a solid 7/10. Not bad but always room for improvement.

Uhm...

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you don't know the running gag we've had for years here lol. We've never skewed our scores due to angry comments, and never will. I stand by my American law to make jokes at the expense of our writers being flamed for their opinion ;O;

This!

Continue writing and contributing as members, and if you are performing well, who knows? Maybe you will be picked up.
Even if there is no official application period, you might get picked up :)

Ah, guess I got rejected then. You never really got back to me, you know. A “no” at least would've been appreciated instead of leaving it at “we will review it and let you know the outcome” and then never actually doing it. (This is not aimed at you Chary, you're cool.)
Anyway, congrats to the people who did get accepted. You deserve it.

Congrats everyone, looking forward to what you write!
Also, is there really any point in keeping TempBot on that list? Looks like it died ages ago...
Don't you dare insult TempBot. He is precious.

(It's used to inform new users of the rules via PM, so still relevant, but current members wouldn't know it)
