Re: Anyone want to chat
Hi @outlander
I was wondering if there is a spot that explains all the different member types
I know the contributor ones I think but I see all these others too that confuse me... such as peer support worker, community lead, community guide, community elder, moderator, admin...

Re: Anyone want to chat
a community guide like myself are volunteer members who help to welcome and guide people around the forums, encourage members to join in to different places like the chats or other threads suitable to that member.
a community elder is a retired community guide
@avant-garde
A moderator is a sane staff member who usually checks over all the posts etc
community lead and peer support worker are also staff that are hired by sane as peer support workers or team leaders.
hopefully that helps abit

Practising humility, just because I'm right about something doesn't mean I have to tell the other person they're wrong.
I'm tired and had my emotions invalidated this morning. I'm allowed my emotions though and I'm allowed to cry when I'm overwhelmed

Hey @avant-garde, thanks for your enquiry about the terms on the Forums. I will explain them and tag @tyme as there may be a more formal explanation within the Forums that they can share.
peer support worker - a moderator with a lived experience of mental health
community lead - the lead worker on the Forums
community guide - a volunteer (another Forums Member) who is in a role to support and engage with the community
community elder - a Forums Member who has graduated from being a Community Guide
moderator - a support worker who moderates the Forums
admin - tag for anything related to administration
I hope this helps and thank you for tagging the moderator @outlander

@outlander maybe you can get enough sleep for both of us 😂. I am quite over not being able to sleep and everything else going on.
