If the QC team does not think your analysis is up to on-site standards, they have the right to reassign or reject it. Make sure you familiarize yourself with C&C standards if you wish to prevent this from being the case.

Some personnel updates from the last few months!

First, goldenghost now mods the forum! Congratulations for your continued excellent work! The LC C&C staff is excited to have you on the team and looks forward to your future contributions.

Second, Hacker is on the QC team; he's been giving checks but I never officially announced it here.

Lastly, LilyAC is stepping down from the QC team. We'd like to thank her for her contributions over the years.

I am going to be officially stepping down as LC C&C Moderator. I wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who has written, QCed, or GPed for this section; our analyses here wouldn't be possible without the people that are dedicated to making it happen. The section is in good hands of the rest of the moderation team, and I am sure we will continue to provide resources for LC players. I'll be staying on the QC team for the next couple months until we can find more people (contact gali if you guys want to join the LC QC team ).

P.S. Wanted to give a quick s/o to Nineage, who brought me on this team in 2020!

Flou is now part of the QC team!
