Single post in Type Race Announcements

To be frank, hosting a Type Race thread should have never been something so easily done. Much like contests, Type Race thread hosting is a genuinely large amount of responsibility. It is incredibly hard to pick up the pieces when the ball is dropped by a user hosting a Type Race thread, especially mid-race. Hosting a type race thread is more like a privilege of being trusted with the responsibility of knowing site rules and being able to navigate a group of players through an event mostly unsupervised by the moderator team, and negligence in performing this task can and has in the past, result in Type Race host privileges being revoked with prejudice. This new update will make sure reliable players or quality threads are being produced for the Type Race. If you are concerned with it being a popularity contest, it might help to start building a name as a trustworthy and knowledgeable community memeber. Simply increasing presence in a type race thread or taking on extra responsibility as a raffle host or by helping team members is a great way to build rapport with other users who participate in the events. These users you see as 'popular' don't just become popular over night. They built their reputation from the ground up and anyone can do the same thing just by being a member of the community
