Hello, AF&E!
We hope you've all enjoyed yesterday's fun April Fool's prank. Should you so wish, we would be ecstatic to welcome off-topic SpongeBob appreciation blogs :relaxed:
This Community Updates post is a new idea implemented by the staff to inform the AF&E community of what we've been working on, including a summary of past information, as well as some new things to look forward to in the future.
This will be quarterly, so approximately every three months, in order to keep you all informed and excited, and to also gather or future suggestions.
This quarter has been especially packed, so we're looking forward to sharing our work from behind the scenes with you all!

New AF&E Discord
As we all very well know, Amino can be quite unpredictable in its bugs and inconsistencies ( :sweat: ).
That's why the staff have decided to revamp and open a new discord channel dedicated to our community in order to ensure event updates are still provided in the case of an app breakdown.
Feel free to take a look at the server's link and post information here!

Staff Profile Theme Contest
We recently requested a long-overdue new profile theme for the AF&E Staff through the recent contest.
Everyone's entries were so incredible and it was a very difficult choice, but unfortunately in the end, we could only choose one winner.
Take a look at the results for the podium!

Guideline Changes
Since the Guidelines' revamp a year ago, the staff have been constantly ensuring that our rules stay up to date, prioritise safety, and are informational as time es and new Amino changes are taken into .
Every time an adjustment has been made, we've always provided a notice and summary. This time is no different: a new post is soon to be published detailing some recent adjustments to the guidelines.
We know that reading the [Guidelines] is everyone's favourite hobby / pastime / activity, so once the update is posted, you should immediately skedaddle to the nearest Guidelines link :relieved:

New Official Team: The Crediting Team
We are pleased to announce that, after taking into our ' suggestions, the staff have been in the process of establishing a crediting team.
As our community is quite established in the field of event sets and artistry, we are dedicated to ensuring that our crediting rules for art, sets, and the like are maintained throughout the community, as well as educating and informing others of our guidelines.
Applications and further details for this team will soon be posted, so be sure to keep a look out!

Event Segments' Verification Titles
With the constant developmental changes of Amino Global Events and the opportunities available to all , the staff have been working on preparing a new addition to our title system.
For each language segment, we have decided to hold applications of event helpers / translators in order to earn a verified helper title, which will be placed on your AF&E profile.
After submitting an application, we will carefully review all evidence of experienced for all languages and thus offer them a verified position. This is to ensure smooth and easy recruiting for event organisers or leaders.
Any current lists or separated segments shall no longer be needed, as we will have all segments coned for ease of access.
More details are to come, so if this is something you're interested in participating, keep an eye out!

Previously, we opened new club applications for to submit ideas for new clubs that would act, in essence, as an official team in AF&E.
We are pleased to share that most of the process has been concluded and we will be excited to reveal the brand-new additions to our clubs very soon!

hm, that's interesting idea about giving titles to helpers, but idk if it's gonna work the way you want it to:( and i really hope that there will never be titles like "verified verifier", because with these titles could become lazy and start ings in the wrong way, but everyone is gonna trust them, because "hey, look, they're official and trustworthy verifier, they can't make mistakes!"
Reply to: денделайн. ؍؍
Yeah, there has also been an increase in fake German helpers and I believe French helpers too. :pensive:
This idea isn't really supposed to be a one-stop shop for helpers, just to recognise and acknowledge those who have worked hard to prove themselves reliable. It's also come after a lot of requests so that's why it's something we think a lot of people want to see.
Also, we're still working out a lot of details and as you said, there are a lot of logistics involved that we have to think about. That's why we're taking our time with this to ensure we avoid confusion
We're listening to all your suggestions and trying to find the best system for this. Thank you for sharing your concern!
I fear verified segment titles would make it a lot harder to get picked. It’s already so hard to get picked if you aren’t usually a helper or other staff at least once a month :sob:
Crediting Team :pray: 🏽
I'm very confused about the verified helper thing, can anyone with experience apply to be a verified helper? (I've helped in 2 events)
more information will be out soon, be on the lookout for it 🦦
Verified titles will be so nice 🤧
DOWN WITH THE FAKE HELPERS! :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:
