Greetings!
A few months ago, the alpha phase of the community leader program was quietly-opened without an official announcement. During that time, key community members were identified and asked to become community leaders for a trial period. In an ideal situation, there would have been an official announcement with an introduction to the members and an explanation of the program at that time. However, there have been a multitude of growing pains, changes in leadership, and some unexpected bumps along the way which prolonged the announcement and the official start of the program. These players have been functioning as community leaders for quite some time, and today we’d like to officially introduce and welcome them as official Community Leaders.
Before announcing our first community leaders, let's learn about what a Community Leader is:
A Community Leader is an outstanding member of the community that is active, helpful and knowledgeable. Community Leaders are not exempt from the rules and are held to the same standards as all other players.
A Community Leader is a helping hand. They provide guidance to players and direct them to helpful guides and support tools. Community Leaders are not moderators. They do not have the ability to perform moderation actions.
A Community Leader is the eyes and ears of the community. They collect valuable information on game-related issues and community concerns for the Community Manager to relay back to the development team. Community Leaders do not have insider’s access to game development cycles, upcoming patches, or event information.
A Community Leaders is a regular player. Community Leaders are not paid and are not in the employ of Ubisoft. They assist as volunteers only.
Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to our first Community Leaders. They are:
- AlphaSmitey
- Shuttlepilot (Retired)
- Immaduck - Immaduck1 on Ares
- Aquila - Aquila-Plume on Ares
In the forums, they can be identified by the Community Leader title under their usernames. In-game, they will also have the CL_ tag and a special font color.
Please join me in a warm welcome to these Community Leaders and thank them for their contributions thus far, both in and out of game.
Cheers,
BB_Rawren
