Should I be concerned about Moderator "Isla"

Because I'm bored and like checking for new things, I've noticed a strange person named "Isla" suddenly becoming a moderator over every single forum. Like right now-ish. Isla has only joined a few days ago, has posted nothing and now looks to be in charge of the site's nuclear codes.
Is something being tested right now or is it a spambot/hacker who's managed to slip through the system and appointed itself a position of power and displaced everyone else who was in it? Because I'm not seeing anyone else as moderator and my memory is so bad I can't remember who is the sheriff in this town. Was it Kieve?
Anyway, if this Isla person is not a test user and in fact a hackbot, either there's going to be a whole lot of spam or a lot of posts will go missing and banhammer might be engaged on people at random. Because you can't trust a robot with supreme power.

Well, have you noticed "Isla" is "Alsi" spelled backwards? Think about that...

Kieve and me where moderating the forum during the last months. The whole FTL website migrated to a new server a few days ago. Matthew mentioned Isla helping during the server transfer and said that she'll continue to monitor the forum for any issues in the future. So this is all very much sanctioned and no security breach at all.
Thanks for your awareness and a big welcome to Isla.

Right, now I feel like a Rockman (xenophobic and paranoid about the status quo being disrupted by "outsiders")... and an idiot
Ummm... welcome Isla?

I don't know what's going on now, so I'll just lob Breach Missiles at both of your shields then finish you off with a Glaze Beam (By the way Sleeper, that should be the name for a crappy knockoff Glaive Beam in Endless Loot or something.)

Did I mention I'm only a Sector 4 pirate? I shouldn't even have all those systems! I must be one of those Captain's Edition pirates

It was never going well. You are always doomed.
