Structural Update: We’re Retiring the Community Lead Role

[Uncrowned Guard]

As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and team-centered growth, Uncrowned Empire is officially retiring the Community Lead role across all of our sites.

This change affects Uncrowned Gaming, Uncrowned Addiction, and any future platforms under the Empire banner.

🤝 A Team-First Approach

We’re making this change to reinforce something that’s always been part of our core philosophy: our strength comes from collaboration, not titles.

Going forward, all community staff will simply be referred to as:

• Gaming Staff

• Addiction Staff

• Armory Staff (as applicable)

There will be no “lead” position within each group. Instead, all staff members will share responsibilities and decision-making equally — as peers, not subordinates.

💬 Why We’re Doing This

In the early stages of rebuilding Uncrowned Empire, the Community Lead role helped us stay organized during quiet times. But as we move into a new phase — one built on shared effort and mutual support — we believe flattening our structure is the right call.

We’re not building a hierarchy.
We’re building a team — one where every voice matters, and everyone moves forward together.

🌐 A Note on Cross-Site Roles

This also helps unify our staff across sites:

• All staff are equals, regardless of which site they serve on.

• Team members are welcome to request moderation access or dual roles on other sites at any time.

• We trust our staff — and we want them to feel empowered, not boxed in by titles.

❤️ Thank You to Our Staff (Past and Present)

We’re incredibly grateful to those who stepped up as Community Leads during our earlier stages. Your support helped us get here — and while the role may be gone, your contributions remain invaluable.

We’re excited about the future, and we believe this change will only make our foundation stronger.

Here’s to building something real — together.
