Revision as of 14:26, 8 May 2016

In May 2016 all national and regional Freecycle(R) ModSquad groups were consolidated into two groups, FIOD and Freecycle Leadership Community. These forums are open only to Freecycle moderators.

FIOD

FIOD -- Freecycle.org(R) Indie On-Site Discussion Group -- is a discussion group for moderators with problems with the site. There they can ask questions, make suggestions and search for past messages to see if they can find the answers to their questions. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/fiod/info

If you are having a technical problem this is the first place to make it known or find out if others are having the same problem. This is not a place to discuss group dynamics, posts about what to allow on the group or general chit chat. Whenever you post on FIOD always include your Group name and Unique TFN Group ID number which are found on your Info and Options Page.

If you are not already a member of this group, send a join request to: fiod-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Only mods on active MyF groups can join FIOD. Do NOT apply until you finish training and are promoted to Moderator.

Freecycle Leadership Community

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. Moderators come here for the latest news and updates about Freecycle.org. [https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FreecycleLeadershipCommunity/info

How to join a Modsquad
