That's right, it's time for some new mods! Please welcome the following swell folks, our latest additions to the mod team:
/u/jasfss - "Early-Middle Dynastic China"
/u/vertexoflife - "Pornography/Obscenity - Early Modern Europe to Victorian Era"
/u/bonsequitur - "Cinema: Classic Hollywood, Latin America, Pre-war Western Europe"
These fine fellows have all been thoroughly vetted by the rest of the mod team, and have a proven track record of quality answers and involvement in the community. Please show them the respect you've shown the rest of the mod team as we work to keep AskHistorians the wonderful community that it is.

Finally, I can push my radical left-wing revisionist agenda unchecked.
This is only the highest honor on Reddit, thank you very much for your faith and kindness, and I pray that AHM LLC will back me as I swing Ye Mighty Olde der BannHammer(tm) in Great Fury(c) against all offending, spammy, uncited and trashy posts.
(posts which I can now see, oh ye gods I need eyebleach)
Man, they let anyone be a mod these days...
Wow, porn, movies, and Early-Middle Dynastic China? Sounds like a weekend!
Suckers
Oh great, three more people I need to payoff every month.
Just more authoritarian mods to oppress the democratic rights of the plebeians. I demand revolution! "Attica! Attica!"
WOOO! Another sex history mod! Soon we'll take over, and then we'll plaster this place with pornographic friezes. The plan is almost complete.
May your enemies fear you. May badposters tremble as you approach. May you leave entire threads desolate wastelands.
I see once again my offer of a complete autographed set of the works of Jonah Goldberg failed to acquire a moderator position... goes off to hidden fortress to prepare a death ray stolen from the Kaiser in 1917...
Sucres.
Congratulations new mods! I would wish you well, but since I've seen under the hood myself now, I can only send my condolences. And a hug. Save that for when you really need it.
Congrats guys. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine.
May your banhammer swing mightily as you cull the unworthy in defense of the /r/AskHistorians mother/father/homeland. Good luck, ya'll.
More moderators, cool!
Does this mean we're ready to become a default subreddit now?
What's with this "LLC" shit?
Ugh, not looking forward to the squabbles between vertex and mse over who has the better porn.
3 more to carry the heroic burden of Sisyphus. We salute you.
Is being a moderator wielding the banhammer on AH what Nietzsche was talking about in his "Wie Man mit dem Hammer philosophiert"?
In sympathy and solidarity, I will continue to not post in a continuing effort to make your lives less shitty.
As someone with an interested in Qin history and the development of centralized China in general, I want to say I am looking forward to /u/jasfss and his/her posts!
Just as question, are there any major works currently in the West that sheds new light about that period?
