I missed my milestone of joining Neowin 10 years ago. However 2 years ago today, Marshall and I were invited to become moderators for Neowin.

It's been one heck of an experience. Being a moderator has its highs and lows, it's quiet times and times where mayhem seems to break loose and all you want to do is close the computer down and pretend that you're busy elsewhere. :p

All in all though, I have been privileged to receive such a responsibility, joyed to be able to give back to the community, and while I may have rubbed some people the wrong way with some decisions I have made, I take it for what it is and continue to try and keep the community happy.

You can't do this job forever (no really, it does take its toll on you,) but I have no intention of moving away any time soon. Like it or lump it. ;)

As always, I'm available for anything whether it be an issue that you have, a user's/moderator's actions that you think were unfair, or maybe you just want to chat with someone. (Y)

Congrats Nick! One of the few Mods I've seen that is fair and does not take the job to the extreme. I've asked Nick questions from time to time and he's responded cordially every single time. Can't say the same for some other mods around here. What is the difference between a Mod and a Supervisor?

Supervisor

The Supervisor group was created to take the load off the admins, the staff selected (usually a group of no more than 6) are long term trusted staff. They are given administrator permissions and can make operational decisions without fear of being over ruled by the admin group. This group also has an ops forum and many decisions are talked about and decided between admins and supervisors with the help of developers.

 

Hope this helps. :)

Ha, after the beginning of that post I thought you were going to say, "moderators moderate, supervisors supervise, and administrators administrate." :p

I envy your privilege, I would feel wonderful for the opportunity you currently have to be a Mod to the OP. As someone who has been here since they were 13 and now is 27 I am jelly but I still congrats you as I know you bring value to this forum as you were not chosen for no reason to be a mod!

Thank you for all your contribution to this forum as a mod.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
