| |
− | Hello! Do you think Freecycle(TM) is a really cool community resource?
| |
− | | |
− | Is it helping you clear out your clutter?
| |
− | | |
− | Do you wonder why nobody thought of doing this before?
| |
− | | |
− | Maybe you should be a moderator for this group! Currently, the XXX Freecycle group doesn't have any local moderators and we are asking for volunteers.
| |
− | | |
− | If you are interested, please read through these qualifications, and if you think you meet most or all of the requirements get back to us as soon as possible:
| |
− | | |
− | MODERATORS SHOULD HAVE THESE QUALIFICATIONS
| |
− | | |
− | * Must live in the area served by XXX Freecycle.
| |
− | | |
− | * Have a basic knowledge of the Freecycle rules. They can be looked up and learned fairly quickly.
| |
− | | |
− | * Time! You should have an hour or so throughout the day and evening to devote to moderating a group.
| |
− | It is a volunteer position - there is no pay or tangible benefits, just the joy of knowing you're giving back to your community.
| |
− | | |
− | * Computer, Internet access and computer skills. (Obviously another "must")
| |
− | | |
− | * Internet experience. Knowledge of Yahoo!Groups is a huge plus, but not required.
| |
− | | |
− | * Writing skills. Correct spelling, proper punctuation, complete sentences, and proper grammar are a must. You must not type in "chat mode" or "IM mode." This means no all upper or lower case typing!
| |
− | | |
− | * The ability to follow instructions. Guidelines have been set up for all Freecycle group moderators to maintain in order to be listed on the main Freecycle web page.
| |
− | | |
− | * A positive attitude and the ability to keep your cool when dealing with irate or irresponsible members.
| |
− | | |
− | * An interest in environmental causes - you know that Freecycle isn't about FREE stuff but about keeping stuff out of the landfills and building community!
| |
− | | |
− | There are materials available to help teach people the tricks of moderating a Freecycle group and there will be a more experienced mod assigned to the group for a while. The ideal is to have two (or more) local co-mods managing the group.
| |
− | | |
− | Tell us about yourself! Please let us know:
| |
− | | |
− | 1 Your full name and where you live,
| |
− | | |
− | 2 The email address and ID you use on Freecycle
| |
− | | |
− | 3 If you belong to other Freecycle groups and which one(s)
| |
− | | |
− | 4 Any relevant experience that would be helpful for us to know.
| |
− | | |
− | If this sounds like something you'd like to do, get back to us right away! And if you know someone else who would make a good moderator, please pass this message on to that person.
| |
− | | |
− | Let us know if you have questions. We're happy to help!
