Hello everyone 🙂
Just a little mini-announcement to say that it’s my last week as community-moderator this week.
But not to fear, I shall be leaving you in the very capable hands of @hugh who will be standing in until a more permanent replacement can be found. 🥳 🙌
Thanks to everyone for making meta a really enjoyable place to work, and especially to those who have helped me out along the way. 🙂
I shall likely return in a non-mod capacity at some point, but until then…

May thanks for all your efforts! Moderation is difficult and often under-appreciated. One of those things where the better it’s done, the less it’s visible.

Thanks, Jammy, for everything! Your presence, dedication, patience, and kindness made a significant positive difference on Meta. Your moderation skills within the community are top-notch. Many times, I appreciated how well you made Meta an enjoyable place by brilliantly handling all the details.
You have made a considerable impact on me personally, particularly in how you approach problems and communicate with others. I won’t forget that.
I look forward to seeing you again and wish you all the best in the future. 👏 🤗

You’ve been an absolute pleasure to work with, Jammy! Patient, responsive, reliable, innovative, willing to take risks when the situation called for it… all while managing to be kind, clear, and encouraging.
I’ve witnessed the community here on meta experience a significant lift during your tenure, and you are leaving it in much better shape due to your good efforts. All the best going forwards!!!

That’s about the best compliment anyone could give a Community Manager. Nicely said.
James is going to leave a big hole. 🥹

Absolutely! A lot of hard work was put into tidying everything up. I love the way #Documentation etc is now. ❤
Thank you for all the hard work you put into the community Jammy! You’ll be missed, hope to see you back at some point :discourse: 💟

You’re so helpful and understanding (in all senses).
Without people like you and @pfaffman (and secretly @itsbhanusharma ), it’d be a very lonely and barren land to me.
May you reappear, may be in some other incarnation, in this space.

@JammyDodger You’ve been a massive help and done a very good job here on Meta. The good example you’ve set has strongly influenced how we moderate our own instance, meaning you’ve had a significant impact in the automotive world, as well as Meta.
I hope your next endeavour gives you back as much as you’ve given us ❤

Thank you all so much. ❤ Really, it’s been an absolute blast and that’s all down to all of you who turn up and take part every day. You are an absolutely stellar community and I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved over the last couple of years. 🙌
It’s fast approaching my final clock-off, so it’s a fond farewell from me. :blob_wave: At least for a little while… I shall see you all again soon. ❤ 🙂
