Greetings Skylords, Skyladies, and Skyfolks,

we're looking for new volunteers to help out our moderation team! Starting from today, you will be able to apply to join our team as a "Discord Moderator".
As a discord moderator you will be responsible for watching over our public discord channels and enforcing our rules there. You can apply for this position in our forums.
We will accept new applications until the 18.12.2020.

Please be sure to answer the following questions:
- How old are you? How much free time do you have? etc.
- In your opinion, what are the required qualities of a moderator? What should they do, what should they not do?
- Do you have any prior moderation experience?
- Since when have you been following the project? How did you find us?
- Why do you think, you'd be the one we need, rather than someone else?

On a side note, we are still looking for a new game designer for our team!
If you have experience in that regard and are willing to pour your free time into this project make sure to send us your application here!

The reason we're looking for new Discord Moderators is because our moderators @Scourge and @armu have joined the global moderation team, and are now helping out with other moderation issues. The global moderation team will be lead by Kiwi, who will be our Lead Moderator from now on. We're grateful for their dedication and are expecting great things of them!

Best regards, Zyna.

Hello Skylords,

The day everyone has been awaiting has finally arrived. After all these years of hard work and dedication we are excited to tell you we have an official release date for Skylords Reborn!
December 18, 2020
As you might know, we will also have a progression reset alongside this release. This means everyone's progress (this includes cards, BFP, gold, upgrades etc.) will be reset on release day. So hold back just a little if you were planning to play before release (or don't if you don't mind losing the progress). We have always said that there will be a reset on release date and it will definitely happen. If you would like to follow what we are up to and what is still left to be done before release, you can do so by looking at our Trello here.
On another note, we are looking for new staff members!
With the game being more stable and bug-free than ever before, and the upcoming release, we will start to look for ways to expand on the current game. This includes adding cards and maps, doing card and map balance changes, holding events and tournaments etc. And this is where we need your help. Listed below are three positions which will be open for applications. If you want to offer your help you can do so by applying in the recruitment section here on the forum. Please apply in the `Development` section and specify what role you would like to fulfill.
    - Designer: Design game mechanics related to progression/quests/rewards. 
    - Map Scripters: Fixes bugs in map scripts, and assists the map designers with map scripting.
    - Map Designers: Makes new maps, or polishes existing maps so they can be added as official to the game.
That's it for now! For more information you can watch the livestream we did here. Thank you for your support thus far and we will see each other around.

Greetings, Skylords, Skyladies and other Skyfolk!

We hope you're as excited about the upcoming release in Q4 2020 as we are!
In light of this, we recently had some discussions about our internal team structure and decided that there need to be changes.
As some of you might have noticed, in recent years our administrators InsaneHawk, MrXLink, Blank, and our Lead Developer fiki574, have taken more of a background role. They did a great job in the past and they will continue to help out the project and the team as before!

However, we decided that these roles should be fulfilled by the more active staff members, more specifically Ladadoos and Zyna, who will be taking over as Administrators and Lead Developers of the project. Blank and InsaneHawk will from now on be listed under the "Founder" role. They were the ones who started the project back in 2015, and without them all of us wouldn't be here today. They will continue to help out the project, but will take more of a background role from now on. MrXLink will continue his work as a Designer. Our former lead developer fiki574 will now be working as an all-round developer.

Our moderation team will also be undergoing some changes. We will be retiring Ragenarok from our moderation team, since he has become inactive. We are grateful for his past work and wish him the best in his future endeavours! Additionally, our moderators MephistoRoss and Dexirian have moved away from their moderator role in recent years. Dexirian has been fulfilling the role of a System Administrator, therefore he will now be listed among our Developers. MephistoRoss has been doing a lot of important work concerning progression, rewards, and other game features. Because of that, he will, in addition to his moderation role, from now on officially be one of our Designers. The new roles will look like this:
ADMINISTRATORS - The SR CEOs. They represent and lead the project.

Ladadoos
Zyna
FOUNDERS - The two founders of the project. They started it all and without them Skylords Reborn would not exist.
Blank
InsaneHawk
MODERATORS - Take care of the forums, discord & game, help to keep them clean and enforce these Rules. They can be contacted for forum or community-related issues. Some Moderators are Global, meaning they take care of all platforms, whereas some are assigned to a specific platform. If you have any issues with a moderator specifically, contact an admin. 

Kiwi MephistoRoss
Scourge (Forum only) Ultrakool   DISCORD MODERATORS - Similar to Global Moderators, they specifically make sure our Discord Server is a nice place for everyone to be and talk with others! It's a great responsibility since it's the most active community platform we handle. Can be contacted for any Discord related issues.
  Bucky sh0rt DESIGNER - Staff specifically hired to create new game designs, mechanics and systems. Think of balance, reward systems, new content, cards, and so on. While it should be noted that all staff members have input on design, designers were specifically taken into the team for this, and have a degree of expertise/experience. Can be contacted for design concerns, feedback and explanation.
 
MrXLink
MephistoRoss
2D ARTIST - Makes 2D art for Skylords Reborn. Currently makes the beautiful Patreon-exclusive monthly BF concept art, launcher art, and may add visual content to the project in the future.

NanoRhino
DEVELOPERS - Programmers responsible for back-end management and SR development, such as coding, creating a proper website for BattleForge account management (used for BFP, account data, and other profile tools), and other ways to accelerate and improve the project.

Ladadoos
Zyna

Aviat0r (All-Round Developer)
fiki574 (All-Round Developer)
freund17 (Web Developer)
Dexirian (System Administrator)

We will soon be looking for new volunteers to help out the project in other departments, so be on the lookout for any announcements in that regard. If you have any questions about this decision, feel free to contact us!
We thank everyone for their continued support, and hope that we can all see each other in the forge!

This was a very important decision for the project, especially with release around the corner. I am happy to be able to lead it alongside Zyna and I am looking forward to what the future will bring us. 

Hi everyone!
 
5 years ago, I started this project alongside Blank, it's been a fantastic journey so far, I'm so happy that we managed our goal, which was to play this awesome game again, with you all! I won't lie, it's been hard, we didn't sleep much, it was all in our free time, but in the end, it was worth it, I don't regret any second I've spent on this project. But as some of you know already, I've stepped down a bit from the project, and I focused on my main indie-dev activity, to create my own games. The whole team did a fantastic job maintaining it, and we've progressed a lot since then, to a point where we're closer than ever to official release!
 
But.. all things must come to an end (not the project, don't worry) - But I'm officially taking a step back from this project, starting today. I'll still be around in the back, to help the team if needed, I'll do some paperwork mostly, but other than that, I won't be here with you guys! But don't worry, I'll leave you in good hands.
 
@Ladadoos & @Zyna are taking the lead of this project! They've shown great support & motivation within the years, and I'm confident that they'll handle this project very well!
 
Future is bright Skylords! I hope I'll see you all again someday, I've loved talking with all of you, playing with all of you! This project meant and will always mean a lot to me, love you guys! (I won't cry)
 
See you! ♥

I'm very excited for the upcoming launch! Great job Skylords Reborn team and thanks for all you do!
I'd love to volunteer for design (but would be happy to volunteer wherever you might have a need?)

Lada seized the power what? 

One of those changes in particular was greatly appreciated and expected at some point
Overall good decisions friends.

Could be a way of bringing Tomes back - as a separate PvP only gamemode with full upgrades and all cards unlocked hmm. Though splitting the playerbase with more gamemodes just increases queues which are already quite a pain.

Is this really all it takes to trigger someone? Nothing really rude is going on there, the name might be just baaaaaaaaaarely crossing the line a little tiny bit if you really wanna take offense in everything as insignificant as this. I think the rule against insults and offensive names is in place to prevent things of a much worse nature, likely in a targeted manner towards a minority or any other specific group of people.
This is just absurd.

It has almost been a month and he is still at it

Why it's offensive? How does this offend you?

Do you have an answer to his question? Or just insults?

Continuing with the salt again?

Continuing with the salt?
Its a her and she already explained that her name has nothing to do with that.

Your name was changed on our forums for being "UltraCock" not "BigTits" and your in game name was changed to "Bigs" from "BigTits" because many people reported it for being offensive. There is over 63,000 members in our community and staff work in their spare time, unfortunately we can't spend hours upon hours going through every single members details to make sure their names both in game and forums meet our community guidelines that is why we have an ingame reporting system for such a thing.
As for tit not even being a word, there are six species of bird that all are classed as "tits". You can also see that tit has many different meanings in the English language at these following links:
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/tit
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tit

No. Stop being salty and accept the judgement that has been handed out to you. You’re just doing this out of spite, and clearly the term kiwi is in itself not even considered a derogatory term which a simple google search reveals, as well as her already even explaining her name(which she even didn’t need to by any means). 

This thread has gone on quite long enough imo, OP is clearly just distressed about having his name changed. Gonna lock this now.

My name "Kiwi" actually comes from the first two letters "Ki" from my first name and the first two letters "Wi" from my last name and together it just happens to make "Kiwi" it's also a nickname I've had for the last ten years or so. I also have several friends from New Zealand who don't find it offensive. Kiwi is not only a fruit and what people from New Zealand are often called but it is also an extremely endangered adorable and flightless bird, which happens to be one of my favorite animals.

I think you have misunderstood things, it is not you who decide what is offensive or not, it is the receiver of what you want your name to mean, this is the same for any statement or whatever you want to make. Perhaps your name is not overly offensive, but I assume your intention was to do something funny(?) here by having a name that means big boobs/breasts/funbags or whatever you want to call them and there are a lot (at least some) girls and women on this server. So, to respect them get over it and select a better name for the future.
