Group Mods Introduce Yourselves!
I thought it would be cool if Group Modscould all get to know one another a little better.You can use this space to introduce yourself to the team! Here a few questions to get you started (no pressure to use these if you don't want to):
1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
4) [Random question for the next person]![]()
1) What is your favourite thing about being a Group Mod?
That feeling when you have been able to get a really good discussion going with everyone involved, and all the members start supporting and encouraging each other, lifting the mood of a room. I love seeing that :)
2) If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
Recognition of time spent moderating chat in the internship. I prefer moderating a room to one on one chat but don't feel I have the time to do it as much as I would like to as I have to complete 10hrs a week one to one chat for the internship.
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
With my partner in Canada in some mountainous, snowy place :)
4) If I won the lottery the first three things I would do would be: 1) Quit my job because it would be nice not to need the money enough to put up with the politics of work 2) Buy a smallholding because it is our dream home and 3) Do more volunteering doing the things I enjoy, so I can do the work without the stress or politics
Question for the next person: If you could do any job, what would it be?
1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
I love watching other moderators and working on my own listening skills by seeing what other listeners may have to say to a variety of scenarios. I also love seeing members support each other the way friends can - by saying ?I?m struggling with something too, but I?m here for you.?
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
I agree with everyone?s suggestions above. To add, and this may sound silly, but I?d love if the colours for member names were also randomly generated because right now the names starting with the same letters get the same colour, and it can be confusing if your eyes are not glued to the screen!
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
Similar to @Poppies - on a mountain downhill skiing
4) If you could do any job, what would it be?
I?d play in a major symphony!
Next question: If you could re-live a day of your life, which would it be and why?
1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
My favorite things about a Group Mod is knowing that even if it's a little that I am able to help in some way or form. Plus I love being able to help keep the chatrooms positive and fun.
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
If I could improve anything in the group support chats what would it be? Hmmm, well maybe a tag beside the names in the chat so people could see who the mods are? I don't really think it's something I really REALLY wantbut if anything that would be it.
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
If I could be anywhere doing anything I would be somewhere in Germany (That's my dream destination) just grooming and bathing horses. I find that working with horses and grooming them especially calms me down so much plus I find that really grooming a horse and spending time with them help to create a connection with them.
4) If I could re-live any day in my life it would be summer or 2014 when I was in Africaat Fish River Canyon. It was beautiful there and I just sat on the edge in silence staring into nowhere and it was such a peaceful feeling and I would love to re-live it again.
5) So for the next person my random question is. If you could change anything you have done, what would it be and why?
** If I could change anything I have done in my life, it would have been to start talking sooner. To have found a way to communicate about my home life frustrations as a middle schooler, I feel like that would've changed my path in a positive manner.
1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
- I like being a group mod because you really get to see how great some of the members are, how they're so supportive of each other. I love those moments because I can step back and the conversations in the group rooms just build on themselves. It's great.
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
- I think it would be handy if people could be notified when they're responded to in the chat, sometimes it scrolls so fast that glancing away from the computer screen can cause you to miss something you would've liked to see. Kind of like tagging on fb.
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
- On a warm beach, soaking up the sun, with a book and good company. It's cold here in Ontario.
4) You get a superpower! Which do you choose and why? [smiley]
Above Question:
Invisibility!
1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
I love talking to people, and I find that it's really fun to do it in a group chat where there are lots of people all talking at once!
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
I would make it so that guided discussions were in a different chatroom. It gets really jumbled having them in the regular support room.
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
I would be in Istanbul at a Turkish Bathouse!
4) If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
I like it when I can help a member/guest when they have a question about 7 Cups or if they are in need of a resource.
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
Maybe a box that shows which mods are in the room so we can know which rooms need mod support. I find myself switching between rooms sometimes to check that a mod is there if needed.
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
a place that is warm, soaking up the sun and lounging around and relaxing or getting a massage!
4) If you were a crayon what color would you be?
cyan

1) What is your favouritething about being a Group Mod?
Being able to help people participate in supportive group chats without interference, only with support, love, and acceptance. I'm so zen!
2)If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
I'd add the option to mention a person by name and have it appear boldly or something, so that people, especially guests who sometimes don't know their random screen names, could know when they're answered or asked a question, and participation would be smoother
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
Right now? I would probably be.... Mmm. In London, doing some shopping in the streets of London with my boyfriend.
4) [Random question for the next person] [smiley]
If your pet could talk, what do you think, other than the obvious things they'd say (I'm hungry, I have to pee, let's go out! Let's play! etc) what is the most important thing you think, or wish, or imagine, it would say? (If you don'thave a pet, answer for a pet you love most, a friend's, family member's, stuff like that).![]()
1) what is yourfavouritething about being a group mod?
I would say just seeing people get help in thechatrooms, and also watching the members help each other. It makes me so happy to see people get helped ^-^
2) if you could improve one thing ingroup support chat, what would itbe?
I think a great improvement would be alist of all of the active mods and whichrooms they are in, whilst it notifyingyouwhichchatroomhas no mod.Also,I think whenever a room need a mod, a littlealert or maybe thechatroomcan be red on that list.
3) if you could be anywhere doinganything right now, where and what would it be?
i would be in a state with nice beaches,maybe California, Florida, SouthCarolina, or North Carolina, but in abeach where there aren't a lot of sharks!D: and I would be surfing! I've alwayswanted to try it!
4) if your pet could talk, what do you think they'd say? What is the mostimortantthing you think, wish, orimagining it would say?
Hm, I don't know! I hope it would say how happy it is and how awesome I am xDbut I also would like to hear about their input about everything! So then I could improve my skills on taking care of my pet ;)
My question for the next person xD
If you could be any object or any animal in the world (other than a human!) what would you be? And why?
My name is Ana, I'm 17 and I've been working here since January/2015. Nice to meet you!![]()
1) What is your favourite thing about being a Group Mod?
I like to help in the Group chats because it's good to make sure that everyone isbeing included and that all of the participants are feeling safe there.
2) If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
I'd like to see the moderator community grow, so we can have at least one moderator by chat at a certain time. Also I'd like the members and guests to see me as human, not as a robot. Some of them kind of forget that![]()
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
I think I'm going to take a nap now. I just had lunch, so it's the perfect time to take it, specially because I haven't slept very well last night!
4) If you could be any object or any animal in the world (other than a human!) what would you be? And why?
I'd love to be a cat. Cats just have this way of being awesome and I'd like to be awesome too, haha. Just imagine being a cat and chillin' out there. That would be very nice!![]()
Question for the next person:What are your five favorite bands orsingers?
1) What is your favourite thing about being a Group Mod?
I like to help in the Group chats because I've always wanted to be a moderator. I love making sure everyone in chat are feeling safe and are comfortable in their enviornment. :)
2) If you could improve one thing in Group Support Chat, what would it be?
I wish that we had a whispering feature in group support chats, where you could click on their username for example, and send them a message through the actual chatroom itself and not through a PM. I dunno, I think we should have that all over in other chatrooms and not just group support aswell, but as in a group support chat, you could send members/guests warnings and little notes like "Please be respectful" or something like that. Totally thinking out loud here.
3) If you could be anywhere doing anything right now, where and what would it be?
I'd love to be already out of school and living my life as a nurse in a hospital! :)
4) If you could be any object or any animal in the world (other than a human!) what would you be? And why?
I myself would forsure be a cat! I'm a furbaby mama to a cat and I just love cats!! They're so adorable with their little noses and whiskers and all they do is lay around sleep and maybe catch some birds! They're just so cute.
