==Freecycle Moderator Discussion Groups==
  
−
=National and Regional Modsquad Requirements=
 
  
−
Members of national or regional modsquads must live in and moderate an approved Freecycle group in that state or country or be an NGA or GOA of the same. To be acknowledged as the official national/regional group, the criteria below must be met in addition to including the overall international leadership in co-ownership. Such regional and national mod squads establish a forum for official posts to be allowed to be forwarded from the main MS or directly made in the group. It also establishes a baseline collaborative requirement for future empowerment and growth.
+
There are two main discussion groups for moderators, open only to Freecycle moderators. All general communication to moderators is posted on Freecycle Leadership Community and all updates about technical issues and planned downtime are posted to the Tech Group, so please join both groups. To join, click on the link for each group below to go to the group page, and click on ''Apply for Membership in This Group''.

==National Modsquads==

=== Freecycle Leadership Community ===
−
National modsquad owners must include national Freecycle leaders of that country in addition to the international leadership.
+
'''[https://thefreecyclenetwork.groups.io/g/FLC Freecycle Leadership Community].''' FLC is a forum where moderators from around the world discuss issues with their groups, offer advice and opinions, and share fun stories from their own groups. This is also where the latest news and updates about Freecycle.org are posted, including information and announcements about Freecycle 3.0.  
  
−
==Regional Modsquads==
+
''Please note: there are also [https://thefreecyclenetwork.groups.io/g/FLC/subgroups special subgroups of FLC] for [https://thefreecyclenetwork.groups.io/g/mod-decheznous French] and [https://thefreecyclenetwork.groups.io/g/moderatoren-treff German] mods.''
−
We ask that 3 owner moderators of leading groups in this state should be co-owners of the state modsquad in addition to the international leadership. Leading groups typically refer to larger groups/cities in that state. Here we state specifically “owner mods” because it would not be appropriate to have a non-owner co-mod be the state group owner and the owner mod only a member. This avoids complications when an owner-mod asks that a “helper mod” step down at some point. In the case of National Modsquads these groups are run by leadership teams in close coordination with the overall international organizational leadership.

==State, Regional and National Modsquad groups==
+
=== Tech Issues discussion group ===
−
Here's a current listing of all National and Regional Freecycle(TM) Mod Squad groups. These forums are open only to actual Freecycle moderators who live and moderate in each of these regions as their members.
+
A subgroup of FLC is the '''[https://thefreecyclenetwork.groups.io/g/Tech/topics Tech Issues discussion group]'''. If you are having a tech issue, this is the first place to make it known or find out if others are having the same problem.  
  
 +
Whenever you post about a technical problem, always include your Group name and Unique TFN Group ID number which are found on your [[How_To_Use_Mod_Tools#INFO_AND_OPTIONS_PAGE|Info and Options Page]].

=== Guidelines for Joining Moderator Discussion Groups ===
 +
To ensure timely approval, please note the following:
 +
#Mods working with GOA Support or NGA Support must wait until they are promoted to LM after New Moderator Orientation
 +
#You must join with the email address you use to moderate your local Freecycle.org group
 +
#Applications will be approved for personal email addresses only. These also must match the email used on the local Freecycle.org group. Any email address containing the term 'freecycle', 'moderator' or any abbreviation of these terms is considered to be 'generic', even if your name is also included. That being said, we understand that some people might be wary of using a personal address publicly for the group; therefore we can allow two email addresses per mod per group; one 'personal' and one 'generic.' It is fine to use a generic email for modding the group and a personal email address for discussion groups, provided that you inform GOA of the two email addresses you are using.
