Hey World Bladers!
As we mentioned in our recent Community Rules update, the time has come to expand our Moderation team once more. With the WBO Platform having expanded to include an official Discord server this year, we've felt the need for our 3-person team to be expanded further to ensure we can keep up with the increased activity that multiple platforms brings.
So, who are the lucky few?
Over the past few weeks, we've contacted a number of individuals who we feel would be ideal for a moderation role based on the quality of their posting, their availability in relation to our weakest periods of moderation, and their willingness and cooperation to not only work alongside us, but alongside the community as a whole to ensure the WBO remains the best place to discuss Beyblade.
Without further ado, we're pleased to welcome to the following members to the Moderation team: These three join Jinbee, Mage and TrainiacJ to form a 6-person Moderation team. We hope that everyone will warmly welcome them to the team!
But what about me?
The Staff team are always looking for members to join the team and help support our weakest areas, so don't panic if we didn't contact you this time around! We do carefully consider all of our members when we're looking to expand the team, and our shortlists for specific roles are often very extensive - as was certainly the case this time!
When considering who to add to the team, we look at everyone as a whole, rather than those who have contacted us asking to join. If you're seriously looking to join us, keep up your best community work either online via our forum or Discord, or in person at WBO Competitive Play events and we'll be sure to notice you and be in touch when a suitable position comes up!
Remember - the staff team are just Bladers like you, but with a little extra power to both maintain peace and push the WBO onwards to greater heights. None of the team are above the rules and ever will be!
Upcoming Leaks/Rumors Clause
As mentioned in the Questions about the WBO thread a few weeks ago, we will be updating our Community Rules to include a clause regarding illegitimately obtained leaks and rumours. While the Moderation team are working on the specific wording of this clause at the moment, we're conscious that another wave of CoroCoro leaks are likely on the horizon, and we'd like to provide a brief overview of what we expect when dealing with leaks and rumours before this happens:
Thanks all!

- Sharing content from leaked publications or announcements prior to their intended release date will no longer be permitted anywhere on our platform.
- This includes the sharing of any media content, even if it is hosted on a non-WBO maintained service, such as Imgur.
- This includes the sharing of any media content, even if it is hosted on a non-WBO maintained service, such as Imgur.
- Discussion of leaked materials will still be permitted in a text-only format, and we strongly discourage users from sharing any media-based materials with others.
Thanks all!
