Hey folks!

Over the past few weeks, the Marble Blast Community Staff have been in discussions on how we want to proceed with the future of the Marble Blast Community. We've noticed a dramatic negative increase of activity that goes against all of the standards we set out to attain when the community was originally conceived. As a result, we're decided (unanimously) to start strictly enforcing ourĀ Terms of Service guidelines and our general system rules to ensure all users are treated respectfully and experience a welcoming, friendly atmosphere while they are a part of the Marble Blast Community.

We will also be implementing a new Warning System in the next few weeks. The system is still very much in the early stages, but will be used to restrict access to the various features of the Marble Blast Website and Game Client based on any negative actions imposed on user accounts. We hope to never use the warning system, but we feel the operations must be in place in order for us to strictly enforce the policy guidelines mentioned above. More news on this system will be unveiled as it nears public release.

To assist with these new policy enforcements, we have decided to make the following changes to the Marble Blast Community Staff:

  • Regislian has been promoted to an Administrator. Regislian has been a moderator of the Marble Blast Community for almost a year and has shown exceptional support, maturity, and encouragement towards other members of the community. It is without a doubt that Regislian has proven himself to be an asset to the Marble Blast Community, and as such we are promoting him to the highest administrative ranks.

  • Promarbler14 has been promoted to Global Moderator. Promarbler14 has constantly provided exceptional support and guidance for both new and veteran members of the community and has proven a vast knowledge of the game content. As a global moderator, Promarbler14 will oversee the operations and actions of all Marble Blast Community Moderators, and will be in charge of ensuring the Marble Blast Support forum and the Marble Blast Support System are checked daily and all issues are resolved by a member of the Marble Blast Community Staff.
  • Kalle29 has been promoted to a Moderator. All members of the Marble Blast Community Staff have spent countless hours debating this decision, but ultimately we have decided that Kalle29 is fully capable of filling this role and his active participation in the community ensures he will be able to assist Regislian with monitoring our Webchat and Forum services as often as possible. Effective immediately, Kalle29 will be granted a temporary moderator role until June 20th, at which point the Marble Blast Community Staff will ultimately decide if we wish to permanently keep Kalle29 as a moderator.

We have also decided to implement a new "tier" of permissions for both the Marble Blast Website and the Game Client. This new tier, dubbed "Developer" will be granted to members that are actively working on official content for Marble Blast Platinum, PQ, Fubar, or miscellaneous Marble Blast Community projects. These members will be displayed in Webchat with a dark green username. This "tier" was conceived to help reduce confusion between developers and members of the Marble Blast Community Staff.

Lastly, a formal post on our forums will be listed later this weekend detailing all current members of the Marble Blast Community Staff and our respective roles within the community. We will also include instructions on how to report any incidents regarding other members of the community in the event that one of our staff members is not available for direct consultation.

Please assist us in giving a warm welcome to our newest moderator and our staff changes, and overall we hope we can improve the atmosphere of the community! We are excited to have these new changes in place and we sure hope everyone will have a more positive experience in the community over the next few months.

Finally...did I mention there is exciting new content coming down the pipeline for everyone? Expect some spontaneous events over the next few weeks and make sure you check in daily to see what's coming!

Thanks!
