Title: 'Bell Tree' Makes Promotions

Founder of the award winning Bell Tree Forums, Jeremy, recently annouced the promotion of two new staff members to the network's most ideal Nintendo forum. Miranda, a member of the Bell Tree Forums since early December of 2008 was promoted as the forums 6th global moderator. While OddCrazyMe, a previous 'Bell Tree' staff member, agreed to be re-added to the staff team as a moderator for his latest tenure.
"Well, TBT has been growing unbelievably the past few months, in terms of registered members, number of posts... overall activity, basically. And it came to a point where the current staff was just swamped with things to do. OddCrazyMe has been a staff member before here so he knows what it takes, and Miranda is brand new to the team, but both have created a spark among the staff and helped us out a lot. I'm excited to be working besides both of them," long term member and current moderator, DarthGohan1 told the ZNB.
While the overall buzz among the forum is positive regarding the promotions and the staff has been very excited working and reuniting with the latest promotions, no one seemed to be happier than Miranda. Already she has seamlessly transitioned herself into prime moderator position and seems poised to handle whatever gets thrown her way.
"I enjoy the sense of responsibility, I've always liked that feeling. I like being able to help out in a bigger way to a place that helped me out at times," Miranda told the ZNB Thursday morning. Overall, Miranda seems to be enjoying herself - "It's great working with the staff team! They are a great group of guys, fun and nice! I do not feel isolated in any way, even with me being the only female! I could not ask for a better group of staff teammates," she continued.
Ultimately, recent spam attacks against the popular gaming forum have sparked the increased need for moderators around the forum.
"Some older members of the forum who have been long gone decided it would be fun to come back and spam the forum. Even once we banned them they used proxies, so it was just a hard-fought battle for us, but in the end we fended their attacks off," DarthGohan1 said. While the spam attacks have quieted down, the promotions make for a positive guard during anytime of the day and night. "We now have staff from all across the globe, making attacks at off-periods of the day for certain staff during a normal online time for another," DarthGohan1 continued.
With the latest spam attacks against The Bell Tree Forums, we'll see if the promotions will truly make dividends in the fight against spam outbreaks, but getting to know some of the people on The Bell Tree Forums - their dedication and expertise should handle any problem that comes their way.
