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

It was! Yes - I am glad I rescued the baby birds too. I told myself that I saved two lives on my birthday and that made me both happy and proud! Thank you - It was!

Re: Meet the moderators

Happy Birthday for yesterday @Former-Member :). And hello hello (a little belatedly) to everyone from me. i'm relatively new here and bumbling my way around getting to know things. Forum worlds are quite a new thing for me... i remember hearing about this new thing called "the internet" in my first year of uni in the early nineties and thinking "pff, that won't take off!".... oh how wrong i was!!! So, needless to say, i am a bit of a luddite though i love communities and getting to know people in new and interesting ways :).

my birthday is in Feb - the Age of Aquarius so to speak!

Hey @Shaz51

It's from Oh the Places You'll Go - my favourite piece of philosophy ever and a good life tale to live by 🙂

Hey @Former-Member ☺ May I ask a question please? (Watch me not wait for a yes, sorry!). Are we able to know who is a help centre mod? I get that might not be something that can be shared, but thought I'd ask just in case. Thanks

Re: Meet the moderators

Hey @CheerBear, please don't apologise and ask away . All the moderators for the forum are SANE staff.

Re: Meet the moderators

Hey @CheerBear

Just to clarify, I think @Former-Member meant that all the Help Centre staff are Forum moderators. There are also some moderators from partner organisations that are involved with the Forums. I am happy for you to know that I am a SANE staff member but I'll let other moderators tell you about themselves. I hope that helps
