SEASONS GREETINGS, MORTALS! 'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!

With the winter season here, many are celebrating those special winter holidays! Throughout my time running the community, I've noticed that LMKD is a wonderful mixing pot of many people from various backgrounds. So many of us celebrate different things because of where we come from and how we were raised and what we believe in. I love that! I love to learn about all of you and what you celebrate! Unfortunately, not everyone is as aware of what holidays are out there during the winter season. So, let's get to know each other better!

Here's a quick questionnaire I created for members of our community to fill out! I'd be so grateful if you could spare a few seconds!

The Questionnaire !

I feel it is important to introduce our team working on LMKD, as many seem to forget that we have such a small team. If you'd like to join our team and become one of us, please make sure to check out our past posts on How To Help, as this lists moderating as one of the ways to help- It can direct you to the moderator application.

OUR TEAM!

Our team, since the beginning of LMKD, has been small and continues to remain fairly small. Despite us always being on the search for more help, we still love our quaint, tight-knit, little family of staff members, regardless. Me (Cev) especially, who is endlessly ever-so-grateful for my teammates who help out with so much more than they are rewarded for. I am so deeply thankful for my staff team, who work their butts off day and night to make sure our community stays safe, continues to function right, and does their best to make sure everyone is having fun, all while juggling their own lives, jobs, and personal passions.

Owner Cev Cev (that's me!) has been on the team since the very beginning, coming up with the concept of LMKD as a result of missing tight-knit communities that interact with one another on a personal level and genuinely spend time together having real fun.

Cev is a go-getter with big aspirations who takes the roles from his work life and applies it to his own community. From being an educator, event management assistant, small business owner, IDD/mental health advocate, podcast member, local club host, public speaker/panelist, content creator, children's book illustrator, social media manager, and so forth.

Admin Tobi Admin Tobi has been with us since the very beginning of the server. Tobi volunteered to help assist with the server, offering to provide his experience as a moderator and useful insight on how to run a Discord server. Tobi is an outgoing and creative individual. He is charismatic, friendly, and provides helpful assistance and necessary skills to manage a large-scale community. If it were not for Tobi, the LMKD community may very well have crumbled when faced with it's first few complications. He has been a supporting rock for the owner throughout the entirety of the server's lifespan, playing a huge role in the success of problem-solving. Tobi plays an integral role in the history and creation of LMKD.

Mod Robin Moderator Robin joined the team in September of 2023, volunteering to fully commit to a role many are too intimidated to apply for. Robin started off as (and still is) an active member of LMKD, enjoying the fun activities/events, projects, community, and all that the server had to offer. Upon joining our team, Robin has proven to be a loyal individual, dedicating so much time and energy into keeping the community a safe, welcoming, and fun place for all to enjoy. Robin's presence is appreciated and enjoyed not just by staff, but by regular server members in our community. Robin juggles moderation alongside their very busy personal life, constantly impressing their teammates with their work ethic, working hard even in their free-time.

Mod Stan Moderator Stan joined the team in July of 2023, initially as a joke. Mod Stan is not an avid LMK fan. In fact, he still has not caught up on LMK yet. So, how the hell did he end up on staff? Stan initially joined LMKD for the sole purpose of supporting long-time close friend, Cev, as well as with the intent of strengthening their friendship by indulging in Cev's interests. When realizing Cev was struggling to look after the server with such a small team, Stan offered to join the moderation team to help shoulder the workload. It became a running gag that Stan speedran becoming staff.

Stan has since proven himself to be a valuable asset on the staff team, providing insight and perspectives many would not have thought to consider. He brings humor to the team, cheering us up after serious/exhausting experiences. He is highly reliable, filling in as host for activities/events and being on top of addressing concerns users may have. He also reminds the team that we deserve mutual respect, as staff are often not met with the same respect we try to provide our members.

Mod Kit Moderator Kit joined the staff team back in June of 2023. Kit, like Robin, started off as any regular LMKD member- Enjoying the server for what it had to offer. Kit has timelessly proven her consideration for others on our team, reminding us to take care of ourselves and sharing her input on situations. She is a helpful part of our team, participating in team meetings and communicating well with others.

Honorable Mentions (Former Staff) To the staff members who are no longer with us (on the team, I promise they are still alive!), we miss you dearly every day! It is hard to part with teammates who are beloved in our community and provided so much help, but oftentimes it is for the best. Here's a section dedicated to some of our former staff who we wish to honor! Thank you for your time helping out in LMKD! You embody what all staff should aspire to be!

Former Mod Ao Former moderator Ao joined us very shortly after the server began, in very early May. Void was a very active member in the LMKD community, got along well with staff and regular users, participated often in chat, and contributed so much help to keeping the server safe, welcoming, fun, and problem-free. Fang dedicated a lot of time providing both behind the scenes and front work on LMKD.

Ao was one of our most established staff members, one who truly captured the ideal LMKD staff spirit. It had been there through many of our rockiest and best moments, directly contributing input, perspective, communication, and assistance in situations that required such. It was almost always there when needed, fang was ready and on top of things nearly as soon as possible- Even if the situation required immediate attention.

it was an unfortunate day when we had to part ways with our former mod Ao, but we are still happy to see them whenever they pop into chat to say hello and talk!

It's been a very happy October with you all in LMKD! It is sad that I won't have as much time to host events with you all for now, but I will again eventually! Here are some screenshots + vids from this month. #LMKD <3 Much love. Remember to stay welcoming and play nice!

MOD APPLICATIONS ARE STILL OPEN! Please consider helping LMKD out if you are 18 years of age or older. If you are a MINOR and still want to help... COMMUNITY TEAM APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN! Both would greatly help with the running of the server during this time.

If we do not receive enough help, LMKD may have to go on a temporary pause.

I want to make sure LMKD remains safe and properly functioning while I am on hiatus. If you would like to help keep the server this way, please consider helping out.

Questions you may have might have already been addressed in our most recent BIG announcement. Please see this announcement before asking questions. If you still do not have an answer, you are free to reach out and ask!

Greetings LMKD! I want to preface this announcement by letting you all know that there are quite a few pieces of news that affect this server that I kindly ask you all to please take the time to read. First things first . . . LAST ROUND OF MOD APPS BEFORE LMKD HIATUS BEGINS ! About the hiatus Hi all. As a lot of you know, once October ends, I am going to be going on a hiatus. This hiatus is TEMPORARY. If you want to know more about the reason why or what I've been doing the past 2 months to prepare LMKD for this hiatus, please check out this thread I wrote earlier this month. It is unfortunate that I have to step away from a community I love so dearly and the server that has been my passion project for 6 months now, but I am currently in the process of figuring out and trying to make time to balance this place and my other responsibilities. I spoke with my team recently about my concern in regard to what may happen if I do not figure something out for this place in my absence. What Will Change?/How Does This Hiatus Affect LMKD? If we do not receive enough help, LMKD may have to go on a temporary pause. I genuinely do not wish to put the server on hold. I am aware of the server being a hub for many of our members and people do enjoy coming to this place for community- As I would hope! That is our whole goal. But I want to make sure I keep this place safe and functioning even when I am away. If you would like to help keep the server this way, please consider helping out. How can I help? The best way you can help contribute to our community is by applying to be a moderator. To apply, you MUST be 18 years of age or older. If you are unable to apply for mod due to age (or any other factor) but wish to still help, you can also apply for LMKD's Community Team. This is our team of regular LMKD members (THEY ARE NOT STAFF) who keep the server active by hosting activities within our community. If you do not apply for either of these, the simplest way you can help out is by following the rules, listening to mods, and making sure other members/peers follow the rules! If you see or know of a member that is breaking the rules or wish to report something malicious/suspicious within LMKD or that may affect LMKD, please contact staff. Despite popular belief, informing a member in chat that something is against the rules is NOT considered mini-modding. It is general community etiquette to keep a look out for the community and is highly encouraged. If a member refuses to behave (especially if aware of the rules), this is usually when a staff member should be contacted. Please do not try to handle misbehaving members on your own, staff will handle it. How Can I Contact/Reach Staff?

Staff members all have pingable roles! If something is happening in the server that requires immediate help/assistance, please do not be afraid to ping Moderator for any/all staff, or OWNER (RED SON) / Admin if you specifically need someone who is in charge.

Direct Message! If you have any concerns, staff is usually always open to responding to DMs. Quickest response time/best place to reach out is over Discord. All members of our staff team will be listed in the Rules soon if you are ever unsure who is on the team (The Member List on the far right of channels should also list who is staff when they are online).

⁠#ticket-submission Please submit a ticket if there is an issue you'd like to report within or in regards to the server.

Social media. Our social platforms consist of Twitter (LMK_Discord), Tumblr (LMKD), LEGO Monkie Forum GROUP (LMK Discord).

What would a server pause be like? If it comes down to it and we do not receive the help we need, the server will be put on a temporary hold/pause. This means the server will be accessible to view, but not to talk. Essentially, a lockdown. THIS IS A LAST RESORT. I am doing everything in my power to keep LMKD from being put on pause, and even if we do not receive the help we need, I am sure I would find a way to make sure the server is still available to all of you.

We are partnering with MLMKS to combine our communities for the sake of teamwork, collaboration, and to form a general sense of community between each server.

And following our recent partnership with MLMKS, we are happy to announce a project we have started together.

You may have heard discussions of it on Twitter or in either community, but MLMKS and LMKD have come together to create a unique way to bring our communities together.

WE PRESENT TO YOU...

DISCORDED (DCD), AN ORIGINAL COLLABORATIVE MEDIA SOURCE.

Catered to our very own communities.

Discorded is a media source inspired by personifications of our respective servers, meant to bring our communities together. Server members contribute to the story by how they interact within the servers, making ocs, etc.

DCD is a collaborative original story project that even community members can join the creative team for. All information for DCD can be found in the resources/links listed on the info doc, as well as within the Discorded server.

LMKD is partnering with LEGO Monkie Forum Introducing an LMK-based social platform!

With many leaving social platform Twitter in search of better, people have become worried about the community splitting apart across platforms. And while we love to promote LMKD, there is only so much a Discord server can provide. Sometimes, people just want a place to post their own content. Well, now that’s entirely possible!

We introduce to you, our partner LEGO Monkie Forum!

Run by @cevtoons

Check us out at https://discord.gg/LMKD

Now easy to remember, and easy to share.

Do you enjoy LEGO Monkie Kid? Do you want a place to talk about it? To theorize? To share your art, edits, animations, fanfics, OCs, ideas, and more? Do you want to meet other LMK fans? Or perhaps you'd like to participate in our community events, ranging from game nights, LMKD Minecraft server, cartoon rewatches (INCLUDING LMK!), peer study halls, monthly projects, celebrations, competitions, YouTube videos, Twitch streams, inside jokes, and MORE!

LEGO Monkie Kid Discord is a server by fans, for fans. We pride ourselves on bringing together the community in a way more than being JUST a central talking hub. Join today and be part of the fun!

But remember to PLAY NICE!
