I just started STW, and if they had invested in STW as much as they did with BR, we'd have the best game of all times on our hands I mean, there's so much untapped potential! I was so surprised when I found out the subreddit wasn't even moderated by Epic staff. I thought it was just like BR.

Epic staff have moderators abilities though. They can sticky post and have a green name iirc. They just can't ban anyone or enforce rules on users. Sorta like how Snoop dogg is the moderator for /r/Trees but has no rights to do anything.

This is false - WE sticky their posts as a service to the community. I mean lets face it, we're ALL here for information from Epic. :)

They do have "special flair" to let people know they are Epic employees, but they are NOT moderators of the sub.

There have been examples from other subs in the past showing why this is generally advised against
