Meet the Staff

Ever wondered what the people on SMW Central's Staff Team are like? Or whom to contact for specific issues you have? Maybe their quick introductions below can help you figure it out!

Everyone on this list will be approachable should you have an issue, but it'll be a lot easier if you know who to contact from the get-go!

Current Staff Team & Site Helpers

Administrators

Administrators are the people who maintain SMW Central and make sure everything always runs smoothly, for both the users and the staff team.

Some administrators can handle your name change and password reset requests. If you need to reset your password, you can contact one of these Administrators via Discord or via the email address in their profile. Please take a read of their bios before contacting them, as not every administrator facilitates these requests. If you have a query about a specific site/resource section, you're best off contacting the relevant Section Manager as they will be able to assist you better.

If you wish to bring up a concern about the staff team itself to the administrators, be that in how the site is run or a specific Staff Member's behaviour, feel free to use the Staff Feedback form.

AmperSam

They/Them

Roles: Administrator and Public Relations

Hi! AmperSam here (though most people just call me Amper), aside from site administration I'm part of the Public Relations team helping with events. I also spearheaded the Questionable LDC, bringing a little unorthodoxy to our contest line-up.

My history in the SMW hacking scene isn't as deep as these other nerds (I've only been around since 2019) but it's become a hobby I greatly enjoy and have given a lot of energy to so I hope to be around for many years to come.

If you would like to reach out, my PMs are open here or on Discord to help with anything or answer questions.

Section Managers

Section Managers are the leaders of their respective section, responsible for both management of moderation and management of their moderator team, too. If you have a query to raise about a specific site section, these are your go-to users!

Note that some Section Managers are also Administrators, and appear in the Administrators section as opposed to this section.

Doctor No

They/Them

Roles: Public Relations

Hi y'all, I'm Doc. I relate to you, the public. As PR section leader, I work with the admins to make sure that the events and contests we do here have what they need to be successful, as well as help with site features, communicating with users, and bringing the ice to all the parties.

If you've been around here a bit, you may associate me primarily with the Kaizo Level Design Contest, which is near and dear to my heart. I've also spent a lot of time as a community organizer for the Kaizo community: I'm an admin and producer for Romhack Races, have worked on the SGDQ relays in 2019 and 2022 (and ????), and I've also hosted for GDQs and other charity marathons.

Still not a doctor, but very blessed to be here. Please DM me if you have any questions or ideas!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Major Flare is my name, programming is my game. I'm a fairly old user from SMWCentral, having come to know it since before it's grand wipe and registering soon after it, giving me more than 15 years of experience in SMW Hacking. I'm fairly competent with some kinds of ASM, like 65c816 (SNES), MIPS (N64) and x86 (Intel and AMD)... and several high-level languages, such as C, C++, C# and Java to an extent, Python and R. That being said, my duties are watching over the various ASM sections while providing my ASM knowledge in readable and easy to comprehend texts. Recently, I was made a document curator of sorts, being responsible for the maintenance and quality control of the Documents Section. Got any questions? I'm in Discord as well. Don't be afraid to seek my aid.

Moderators

Moderators, alongside Section Managers, are the people to turn to should you require help with any of our resource sections, site forums, or Discord server.

Please only contact people whose role includes managing the section you have a question about. Note that this does not mean you should ask them actual questions about hacking the game, please keep to the forums for that for both a quicker response and more input by regular users.

Should you have a question or issue regarding the forums, ranging from general questions about the rules, where a thread you want to make belongs or to report spam or an out of place thread, please contact the moderators marked Forum Moderator.

Contest proposals and questions go to the Public Relations staff members, who set up and manage every contest and event.
