Hi, everyone!

It has been quite a while, but we have a new volunteer Moderator.

We are pleased to announce that @Crease has agreed to join the moderator team. @Crease has been helping us as a Maven for a almost a year and a half now and has been really great at helping out in the community and escalating issues when he sees them.

Please give a warm welcome to @Crease

[Crease]

Thank you for the kind words and the invitation to contribute to the community in a different capacity!

[Seapup]

Woot! Welcome to the Mod Squad @Crease and thank you for volunteering your time and brain to help keep our community a friendly, welcoming place for answers, ideas and discussions! Whatcha gonna do with that big raise? Please don’t delete me.

Congrat @Crease . You have done well on your rise to fame and fortune.

Maybe you can pick up the Fix-It-Friday routine, since Frida left?

Congrats @Crease !!!

I’m guessing the mods chose you so you would stop suggesting they fix threads and tags, etc, and now you can just do it yourself?

I’ve long appreciated all you do to help keep this forum clean and well-organized and a great place to spend time and give great support and ideas to users and to Wyze and you figure out new things we can do in the forums all the time. You were basically already a mod before you were a mod. You make an EXCELLENT Moderator! They couldn’t have made a better choice here for all of us.

IIRC, I think you said I was the one who convinced you to try out the Wyze forums (from the Discord server) and now you’re hear and doing awesome helping everyone out…soo…I’m just going to take a little credit for “Finding” you. j/k

Thanks for everything you do here. It is recognized and appreciated!

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I’d like to see that happen again if it was within my scope.

I was gonna say pretty much the same thing, actually. Let this be a lesson to other members of the community: If you ask enough questions and flag enough posts, they might just demote you and say, “Fix it yourself!”

@carverofchoice

I don’t recall saying that, because I had already lurked here over a year prior to joining and posting^[1], but you definitely get credit for directing me from Discord to a helpful post here when I asked there about getting Google Home announcements from my (then new) Video Doorbell v2, and I did become active after checking that out. Thanks again for that!

Thank you also for the encouraging words.

Congrats @Crease , well deserved.

[R.Good]

Well well well, not a bot

Congratulations @Crease!

Now you can identify and fix why your PFP keeps changing

[StopICU33]

Well deserved and congratulations @Crease !

I had noticed you had already been in training for mod several weeks. The moderator shield beside your name told me you were soon considering the promotion.

[K6CCC]

Congrats Crease - or maybe my condolences…

[carverofchoice]

Heh, I noticed too and messaged him about it a while ago to ask if he was a mod now.

[Newshound]

Congrats Crease!

[Crease]

@R.Good

Yeah, that’s a weird one. I don’t think they’ll give me access to the code or the administrator settings, so I think I’m just gonna have to continue to live with this bug for now.

@StopICU33

I had noticed you had already been in training for mod several weeks.

I’ve been sure that some have noticed, but only Carver directly asked me about it. I guess the is pretty much a giveaway.

@K6CCC

or maybe my condolences…

That may be. Perhaps the bug will change my profile picture to something that indicates a time of mourning.

@carverofchoice

I noticed too and messaged him about it a while ago to ask if he was a mod now.

Yeah, the team has been very accommodating and tried to help me make it not too obvious while I’ve been learning how to get some things done, but I think we can do only so much to that end within the framework Discourse allows.

@Newshound

Congrats Crease!

Thanks, all!

[habib]

Noooo, not another one with powers to delete my posts!

I guess no one told you, but once you become a moderator you are not allowed to change your avatar. You have to pick one and stick with it

Congratulations, well deserved! They couldn’t have picked a better person.

Didn’t you read @R.Good’s mention about finding a “fix” for why it changes? It’s such a strange bug, man. If it was a higher-priority issue, then I’d consider logging it and opening a ticket, but I’d prefer that they devote resources to a unified dark theme and landscape mode throughout the app experience, and I think you’d agree.

Thank you for the kind words.

Ah, that’s what you call it

@Crease

I think you’d agree.

@Crease

Thank you for the kind words.

Well deserved!
