Meet the moderators

Meet the moderators

Hi everyone,

As our team of moderators grow, I thought it would be good timing to create this thread so you can get to know us.

SANE Australia collaborates with organisations around Australia to provide this space. Forum moderators come from SANE and the partner organisations, bringing a variety of experiences, knowledge and backgrounds.

For those who aren't too sure what moderators do, the best way to sum it up is that we aim to ensure the community is a welcoming, productive and safe place for all.

You may see us around the place time to time. Often we lurk behind the scenes (that's not as creepy as it sounds!). We want to allow space for peers to connect with each other and believe in the power of peer to peer support.

So I will start with my introduction

I'm Nik and I'm the Community Manager at SANE Australia. My favourite colour is yellow, favourite food is avocado and could happily live on a tropical island (as long as I could watch all Manly Sea Eagles games each season).

What drives me to do this job is my strong belief in peer support and the benefits it has, and also the role technology can play in improving mental health and wellbeing.

Also.. just so you're aware.. that's not me in my profile pic

So - over to the other moderators. Perhaps you could share what organisation you're from and some random facts about yourself

Nik

Hi everyone,

Hope your all having a nice and relaxing Sunday so far.

Rooney10 here, I'm one of the new moderators. I chose my name as I quite enjoy watching Rooney the football / soccer player in the UK. I also have a dog and love walking her everyday. I was looking for a picture of a dog playing football but stumbled across these pigs having a game and they look like they're having a fun time!

I have a background in social work and am really looking forward to getting stuck in to some of these threads!

Ha ah @Former-Member

Welcome to the forum

Now I can ask you the big question -- when is your birthday

Re: Meet the moderators

Hi @Former-Member and welcome to the community

Although you are a Rooney fan (I presume you were a Manchester United fan also but now an Everton fan - won't hold either of them against you but will be on opposite sides in the Meryside Derby lol)

To start your reading there is one extremely important thread you need to begin with The really important things that new moderators need to know - it outlines many of the 'things' all moderators need to know but may not be in the 'Training Manual' (but should be!!!) - it will however give you a much clearer picture of our community here and what is acceptable and not LOL

This is a very unique, caring and compassionate community and I hope you find being part of it both rewarding and uplifting - as many of us here already do (and I hope we don't give you too much of a hard time lol)

Hi @Zoe7,

thanks for taking the time to reply and good pick up! I am conflicted about whether to continue to support Rooney, I cant stop supporting Man U though!

Gotta head off now but will definitely read the link you suggested next shift.

Thanks,

Rooney10

@Shaz51 thank you for your reply, my birthday is in September, but unfortunately will have to wait until next year to celebrate again as it has been and gone!

Looking forward to celebrating all of your birthdays with you though.

Gotta head off now but take care and enjoy the rest of your Sunday !
