===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.
  
= Description of Roles=
+
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].
:''Descriptions below have been taken from this [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?780569-The-Staff-of-Total-War-Center&p=15554950&viewfull=1#post15554950 post] by [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?315099 Commissar Caligula_]''
 
  
=={{Admin Colour|text=Hexagon Council (Administration)}}==

===TWC Blogs===
The '''[[Hexagon Council]]''' or ‘Hex’ are the main body which performs the day-to-day administration of Total War Center and its forums. They are the highest rank of staff on Total War Center and can be contacted should you have any concerns or questions that you feel other staff cannot answer.
+
:''Main Article: [[TWC Blogs]]''
'''If you wish to suggest new features for Total War Center, please refer to the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?9-Questions-amp-Suggestions Questions & Suggestions] fora.'''<br>
+
'''TWC Blogs''' are overseen directly by the [[Hexagon Council]]. If you would like to comment or post your own blogs, see the [[TWC:FAQ#Blogs|FAQ]] for how to apply.  Discuss the blogs [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?803379-The-CMS-Blogging-thread! here]. '''View the blogs [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/blog.php here].'''
They can be identified by the following badge:<br>
 
[[File:3K Administrator.png‎]]
 
  
=={{Moderator Colour|text=Moderation}}==
+
Note that TWC Blogs have high visibility; access is a privilege and a form of trust. Certain limits apply (see the FAQ) and violations are met with very low tolerance. A lower visibility but also lower stakes outlet, the forum [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?360-TWC-Member-Blogs TWC Member Blogs] is available.
'''[[Moderator]]s''' form the body which performs the vast majority of day-to-day front-line moderation and they work to ensure the [[TWC Official:Terms of Service|Terms of Service]] are upheld. Global Moderators are Moderators who have moderating powers over most forums on TWC. While regular Moderators usually only moderate one forum or set of forums (e.g. the M2TW forums), Global Moderators are trusted with moderating powers in most forums. They are chosen from existing Moderators and share a badge with other Moderators.
 
'''If you wish to appeal a decision made by a moderator, refer to the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?146-The-Tribunal Tribunal] or the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?1309-Praetorium Praetorium].'''<br>
 
Moderators can be identified by the following badge:<br>

===TWC Modding Services===
The '''[[Modding Staff]]''' aim to make TWC a great place for both modders and mod-users! As well as helping modders in any way they can, the Modding Staff help users find answers to queries about mods and modding and work to keep TWC's information about mods and downloads up to date.
+
TWC offers many services for modders. These include the [[Modding Registry]] and hosted mod forums for projects needing more space. To make inquiries about these features, please contact the Modding Hex: {{ModdingHex}}.
