« on: July 16, 2014, 10:03:23 PM »
Would anybody be interested in becoming a Forum Host and be a Local Moderator for a specific board?

Forum Host ~ To start topics on a specific board to encourage other members to post.

Local Moderator ~ To moderate a specific board of your choice to help with the day to day running of the forums.

If anybody is interested please post on this thread and if you have any questions please ask.

Thank you and yes you can be a local moderator.  Decide which board you would like to moderate or a couple of boards and I will change your membergroup.

I'm quite interested in moderating the "Anxiety and Panic Disorders" and the "S.A.D." boards if that's acceptable? :)

Martin, it's just down to common sense but if you, for example, was unsure about anything then just ask. 

Ouroboros, yes that's fine and I will sort that out now  :happy0158:

Martin, I'm going to bed after posting this.  Decide what board(s) you would like to be a forum host and / or local moderator and I will deal with it tomorrow.  I will be out between 9 am - about 1.45 pm as I volunteer at a lunch club which is on Tuesdays and Thursdays so please bear with me tomorrow.

I'd love to give it a go too - have done it before on a single parents site :)

http://www.depressionforums.co.uk/dpf/index.php?board=61.0

Seaflower, your skills are living with depression, giving support when you can and your life experiences.  We all have different ways to help members so even if you just encourage someone than that's great or just a short response the person knows that somebody else has responded.  With quality and level of commitment it's your choice how much you give.  There isn't any pressure with regards to that, whatever time you can give is appreciated..  I am a good example for this as two mornings a week I help out at a lunch club, Mondays and Thursdays evenings I'm out due to church committments, Sundays I'm at church twice a day.  Saturdays and Mondays I am usually not doing much unless there are any extra things going on at church.

Shayna ~ thank you and let me know what you would like to do and what boards.

Martin, thanks and I will get on with that now.
