===Site Awards===

:''Main Article: [[Site Awards]]''

The main '''Site Awards''' are divided into two different groups that are nominated, and voted on, by the TWC Membership:
 +
*'''[[Modding Awards]]''' - which reward mods, modders, and tools/resources and their makers. '''Visit the Modding Awards forum [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?1680-The-TWC-Modding-Awards here].'''
 +
*'''[[Members' Awards]]''' - which reward a range of categories from Funniest Member to Favourite Staff Member. '''Visit the Member Awards forum [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?104-The-TWC-Member-Awards here].'''
 +
Both groups are organized by committees of volunteers overseen by Hex (a shared duty: whoever's on deck/interested will handle admin tasks as needed). Each set is intended to run annually, however the Modding Awards have been on pause for some time.
  
===<big>[[TWC_Wiki|{{Content Colour|text=The TWC Wiki Team}}]]</big>===

The TWC Administration also awards users with a variety of medals. [[Hexagon Council Awards]] including the Milestone, Survivor and Laurel Cluster Awards are given at their discretion. See the descriptions and recipients [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/awards.php?award_cat_id=7 here].

= Description of Roles=
+
==={{Content Colour|text=The University}}===
== The Hexagon Council ==
+
:''Main Article: [[TWC University]]''
The [[Hexagon Council]] (Hex) is made up of several administrators, generally between six and ten.  (It was originally three admins and three senior mods, back in 2005, thus the name.) They serve the role that admins serve on most forums. Hex members are appointed by Hex and serve indefinitely. Although Hex members do specialize, there are no strict boundaries on which Hex members have authority where, and all of them are equal in a vote. Hex members all have (nearly-)full admin and moderator privileges, and can view basically all forums.
+
The '''University''' takes care of organizing and running courses based on varying subjects; while modding-related stuff is usually more common, you can find there courses about history, language or misc subjects as well. Anyone can become a Professor: all that you need to have is an interesting course and some students for your class! '''View the forum [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?370-TWC-University here].'''
  
Hex members can act unilaterally when they think that they have Hex's support, but disagreement by any other Hex member can result in discussion or vote among Hex to resolve the dispute. Generally, a majority vote of Hex is enough to decide any issue on the site.  However, Hex tries to operate by consensus and avoid votes if possible.  If there seems to be fairly clear agreement, an issue will be deemed resolved without a vote, unless someone explicitly calls for one.
+

  • Members' Awards - which reward a range of categories from Funniest Member to Favourite Staff Member. Visit the Member Awards forum here.

Both groups are organized by committees of volunteers overseen by Hex (a shared duty: whoever's on deck/interested will handle admin tasks as needed). Each set is intended to run annually, however the Modding Awards have been on pause for some time.

The TWC Administration also awards users with a variety of medals. Hexagon Council Awards including the Milestone, Survivor and Laurel Cluster Awards are given at their discretion. See the descriptions and recipients here.

In 2018 a new branch of staff was created: the Modding Staff, with a unique green color and various roles delegated to them. The branch was unsuccessful in finding its place, and its functions were eventually merged into existing branches. The staff as a whole was much larger and more elaborate, initially even more themed in early years; over time positions have had to be merged, removed or otherwise changed to meet the site's needs.

Gaming Staff was a department that existed since roughly 2012, being reorganized in 2015 and continuing as a loose collection of areas with site staff legitimacy and an overseeing Hex.
