    they're not gonna create a subforum they can't mod. either they need an existing mod that speaks russian or they need to designate a russian community ambassador.

    The ambassador program was dissolved last fall I believe, so that is not an option.

    The German forum does also not have a mod. There is no German ambassador. The ambassador program was closed before.
    Or do you thing that Russians talking about things that are not allowed in the US, and you don't get it because you don't speak other languages?

    no, it's a matter of liability. they waited to launch those forums in the first place until they had people on board to mod them. i'm frankly surprised they DIDN'T close them when they closed the ambassador program.

    this doesn't mean i think they should be closed, just documenting their logic.

    If you paid to black sun then Portalarium support is unlikely to be able to help you, Black Sun likely didn’t settle amicably.

    While if you paid for crowns to portalarium then citing the purchase receipt you got in email they could check if you received them.
    Where if delivered they would be in the rewards tab top right corner.

    The contract with Black Sun was for
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Soviet_states
    which was a big negative drama back then. Especially since the Black Sun site was in Russian only.
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...an-speaking-forums-and-website-really.111022/

    The logic was so-so, it was based on four publishing areas; US sphere, European sphere, Russian sphere and Asian sphere.
    Good in theory, but really bad in practice.

    I think a Russian forum is important and needs a moderator.

    Я думаю, что русский форум важен и нуждается в модераторе.

    They probably could use more QA and community relations staff anyway.

    Specifically having a set of junior QA positions designated for each language forum might be useful.

    I have asked if volunteerism was a possibility but was shot down by the community. It's a valid idea.

    Boy. I just learned the news and there are only two things I can say:

    1) I'm happy
    2) WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?
