A goodbye from mod Katie (redacted!)

Katie · July 31

(Redacted - I'm still very much here!)

Heyya I’m Katie one of the chat moderators. This is actually my first time posting on the boards! It wouldn't let me post on the community announcements for some reason so I've settled for in here. I’ve been moderating the support and general group chats for nearly three years now. My only regret is that I didn’t start it sooner

You all have been so brave in coming to these chats and sharing whatever is on your mind, as well as allowing me to be a part of your journey. From the ridiculous jokes in general chat that genuinely had me giggling, to watching the support you gave your peers. You all have impacted my life and hold a special place in my heart.

So, I am very excited to share that I will be continuing my journey with The Mix and joining the staff team over on another one of their support services. Unfortunately, my new hours overlap with the times of the group chats so I’ll no longer be able to moderate these chats

I’m not making any promises but there may be the occasional Sunday shift I’ll pop into, but for now this is goodbye. Who knows I might see you around!

Keep reaching out for support and take care of yourselves. You matter.

I’m so glad to have chatted with you.

Lots of love,
Katie (and toothless)

P.S. Long live the spench.

P.S.S. If you do dm me on here make sure you add The Mix account into it please!

Awk Katie,

All of the moderators on The Mix are amazing but there are a few mods who just always go the extra mile to get involved and to get to know us on a more personal level and it always made chat feels so much more safe and welcoming. I’m not a lover of support chat and getting support in that space so general chat is always my go to and I think a moderator can really make or break the vibes of the room. You always managed to get everyone connecting together and sure, always had good craic whenever you were modding. So big thanks for that, you definitely had a big, positive impact on my mood on multiple occasions.

Cheers for putting up with the bullying from myself and @BensonE . You’re a great laugh and a great person. We’ve been very lucky to have ya as a mod.

Best of luck with everything in the new job. I know you’ll be grand anyways and do get well soon, I’ve heard the spench is awful😷🙏🏻

Would’ve feedback formed ya but sure it’s better here

👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

@katiewestie hello, it's Elle here!! Here to remind you that I'm a celeb and baileys chat won't be the same without you one last time.

I wish you all the best in your new role, it's always exciting to make that progression (I say while sitting on my bum in my garden making zero progress myself lol). I hope all goes well for you.

We will definitely miss you in chat, and please, please don't catch the spench so soon into your new job - they might not appreciate the time off you will need for that

Take care and all the best

Oi as @katiewestie knows its not bullying its character building

Amy22 · July 31

Aww @katiewestie we are gonna miss you so much even though you are staying with the mix but are now part of the offical staff team which is such an amazing opportunity and step-up too. I remember first meeting you and seeing Toothless and being like omg its a Toothless fan like me. Honestly you have been so fantastic and great a chat moderator. You make my nights the best ever and I feel like I can have a lovely calming evening when you are around. I wish you all the best in your next adventure and I hope everything goes well

. Maybe I could draw Toothless for you (I think I actually drew toothless years ago but I had to copy a drawing tutorial to help me properly draw him but that years ago).

I've not been on chats for ages but I remember you, I enjoyed having you there and I will miss you when I do come back but it's good you might still come on sometimes. Also congratulations with your new job here at the Mix and good luck with it

sinead276 · August 1

i don't actually think we've spoken as i'm more of a discussion boards person - but good luck with everything in the future and i'm sure you'll be massively missed by many

lunarcat522 · August 1

@katiewestie I don't think we've spoken much but I wish you all the best with your future endeavours and thank you so much for all your work here on the mix it's greatly appreciated!

Hii I've been wondering how you've been doing! Maybe I'll catch you some point in the future but it's honestly great to hear from you. Thank you so much I wish you all the best

@katiewestie same, hope youve been great. Hopefully we will catch each other at some point. Can I ask if you'll be around on boards? Either way, same to you, I wish you the best in not just your new job, everything.

Its already not the same without you! Youre no longer able to get paid for your out of date promotions of competitions

and you will always be a secret Ginger in our eyes

Chats would always be chaos when you were mod but its the type of chaos we all needed. I hope the new role is worth abandoning us all for

haha just kidding, i hope you and toothless are enjoying your new role

@TheNightmare I'm not really sure at the minute kind of just finding my feet in my new role. It's taken me three years just to start using the boards but it is kinda fun on here so possibly. Who knows really maybe keep an eye out in case

@katiewestie that's ok, hopefully you have some time.

Hey Katie,

Just wanted to send a little message to say thank you for being your fabulous self. You always make me feel welcome and like I’m an important part of chat. You make me laugh, you’ve supported me and you’ve cheered me on for my achievements. I’m so grateful to have gotten to know you on chats and I’ll miss you lots. I’m really proud of you for your new role though and I know you’ll be amazing!
