I feel it is important to introduce our team working on LMKD, as many seem to forget that we have such a small team. If you'd like to join our team and become one of us, please make sure to check out our past posts on How To Help, as this lists moderating as one of the ways to help- It can direct you to the moderator application.
Our team, since the beginning of LMKD, has been small and continues to remain fairly small. Despite us always being on the search for more help, we still love our quaint, tight-knit, little family of staff members, regardless. Me (Cev) especially, who is endlessly ever-so-grateful for my teammates who help out with so much more than they are rewarded for. I am so deeply thankful for my staff team, who work their butts off day and night to make sure our community stays safe, continues to function right, and does their best to make sure everyone is having fun, all while juggling their own lives, jobs, and personal passions.
Owner Cev
Cev (that's me!) has been on the team since the very beginning, coming up with the concept of LMKD as a result of missing tight-knit communities that interact with one another on a personal level and genuinely spend time together having real fun.
Cev is a go-getter with big aspirations who takes the roles from his work life and applies it to his own community. From being an educator, event management assistant, small business owner, IDD/mental health advocate, podcast member, local club host, public speaker/panelist, content creator, children's book illustrator, social media manager, and so forth.
Admin Tobi
Admin Tobi has been with us since the very beginning of the server. Tobi volunteered to help assist with the server, offering to provide his experience as a moderator and useful insight on how to run a Discord server.
Tobi is an outgoing and creative individual. He is charismatic, friendly, and provides helpful assistance and necessary skills to manage a large-scale community. If it were not for Tobi, the LMKD community may very well have crumbled when faced with it's first few complications. He has been a supporting rock for the owner throughout the entirety of the server's lifespan, playing a huge role in the success of problem-solving.
Tobi plays an integral role in the history and creation of LMKD.
Mod Robin
Moderator Robin joined the team in September of 2023, volunteering to fully commit to a role many are too intimidated to apply for. Robin started off as (and still is) an active member of LMKD, enjoying the fun activities/events, projects, community, and all that the server had to offer.
Upon joining our team, Robin has proven to be a loyal individual, dedicating so much time and energy into keeping the community a safe, welcoming, and fun place for all to enjoy. Robin's presence is appreciated and enjoyed not just by staff, but by regular server members in our community. Robin juggles moderation alongside their very busy personal life, constantly impressing their teammates with their work ethic, working hard even in their free-time.
Mod Stan
Moderator Stan joined the team in July of 2023, initially as a joke. Mod Stan is not an avid LMK fan. In fact, he still has not caught up on LMK yet. So, how the hell did he end up on staff? Stan initially joined LMKD for the sole purpose of supporting long-time close friend, Cev, as well as with the intent of strengthening their friendship by indulging in Cev's interests. When realizing Cev was struggling to look after the server with such a small team, Stan offered to join the moderation team to help shoulder the workload. It became a running gag that Stan speedran becoming staff.
Stan has since proven himself to be a valuable asset on the staff team, providing insight and perspectives many would not have thought to consider. He brings humor to the team, cheering us up after serious/exhausting experiences. He is highly reliable, filling in as host for activities/events and being on top of addressing concerns users may have. He also reminds the team that we deserve mutual respect, as staff are often not met with the same respect we try to provide our members.
Mod Kit
Moderator Kit joined the staff team back in June of 2023. Kit, like Robin, started off as any regular LMKD member- Enjoying the server for what it had to offer.
Kit has timelessly proven her consideration for others on our team, reminding us to take care of ourselves and sharing her input on situations. She is a helpful part of our team, participating in team meetings and communicating well with others.
Honorable Mentions (Former Staff)
To the staff members who are no longer with us (on the team, I promise they are still alive!), we miss you dearly every day! It is hard to part with teammates who are beloved in our community and provided so much help, but oftentimes it is for the best. Here's a section dedicated to some of our former staff who we wish to honor! Thank you for your time helping out in LMKD! You embody what all staff should aspire to be!
Former Mod Ao
Former moderator Ao joined us very shortly after the server began, in very early May. Void was a very active member in the LMKD community, got along well with staff and regular users, participated often in chat, and contributed so much help to keeping the server safe, welcoming, fun, and problem-free. Fang dedicated a lot of time providing both behind the scenes and front work on LMKD.
Ao was one of our most established staff members, one who truly captured the ideal LMKD staff spirit. It had been there through many of our rockiest and best moments, directly contributing input, perspective, communication, and assistance in situations that required such. It was almost always there when needed, fang was ready and on top of things nearly as soon as possible- Even if the situation required immediate attention.
it was an unfortunate day when we had to part ways with our former mod Ao, but we are still happy to see them whenever they pop into chat to say hello and talk!
Reminder that our moderator applications are STILL OPEN! Please check out our Discord or our Twitter for more information.
