The really important things that new moderators need to know

The really important things that new moderators need to know

Hi all,

I super really don't do change well. I may possibly have called the SANE helpcentre this morning and one of the new moderators may possibly have answered the phone and after quite a lengthy stunned silence, the first words that fell out of my mouth may possibly have been "I don't know you."

Anyway, after we got passed that bit (which took a little while), during the course of the conversation I mentioned some things about Forum Land, which it turns out had somehow been left out of the Welcome to Forum Land induction manual. So, being the ever helpful little turtle that I am, I thought I'd start a thread so that we can all tell the new moderators the really important things they need to know in order to feel at home in Forum Land. I'll start...

The first thing you need to know is that our fearless Commander in Chief of Forum Land, @NikNik, lives in a giant flying nutella jar and it is from this vantage point that she zooms all around Forum Land making sure that everything is super safe and running smoothly. She will probably give you a ride in it if you ask her nicely. Hey @Former-Member has NikNik taken you for a ride in her nutella jar yet?

The second thing you need to know is that we are super lucky to have @Former-Member as a moderator in Forum Land because she is amazingly wise. A few months ago she enlightened us all about the fact that the reason the moon doesn't wear underpants is that it affects the tides and the weather too much. Thus now, whenever there is a major weather event, the first thought that pops into my head is that the moon must have been wearing underpants! Just think New Moderator, if you spend time working in the same office as @Former-Member, you may become as wise as her one day.

Ok, well I think that will do for a start. Hopefully some other Forumites will wander past with further contributions. Don't worry New Moderator I'm sure you will feel right at home in Forum Land super soon.

Hello @Former-Member

Sorry its taken me a while to find my way back to you, the waters here can get a pick tricky for me to negotiate sometimes.

Yes I do know 5-HT, its a good one, I can understand why its a favourite of yours.

I like science too, chemistry and biology were two of my favourite classes in school, I could definately do more with the kids at home though.

Hope today is kind to you.

Take care, MummaMia

Ahh that makes me smile @Former-Member to hear someone likes Chem and Bio. I teach them at work!

@soul Yep, I am pretty sure that walking and doing yoga are perfectly acceptable activities to be addicted to.

@Former-Member You must be so excited that both @Former-Member and @Former-Member know who you are. Wow, Lunar knows why the moon doesn't wear underpants AND what 5-HT is. That must put her pretty close to genius level.
