The Mod Pod

I'm really happy to announce that the ”Gaia Groups Community” pod, aka The Mod Pod, is up and available for membership.

A few of us have been working on ths for some time, I think it will be a great addition to the work of supporting this community.

It is a semi-private pod, but visible by all. Anyone who wants to join simply has to email one of the moderators.

Pease come on by.


Here is a copy of the pod description:

This group is for cultivators and moderators of groups (a.k.a. “pods”) here at Gaia, as well as for anyone else who has aspirations of becoming a cultivator or moderator or otherwise promoting the vibrancy of the pod community.

In this group, we discuss various strategies, issues and ideas related to group administration, as well as help less experienced moderators to develop their groups into thriving spaces that bring about a sense of community both within the group and throughout Gaia. That also includes discussing strategies for and providing support in mediating conflict with and between members of the groups we moderate.

This group also provides opportunities for working together with moderators of similar or complementary groups, as well as for merging groups in order to more effectively unite people with similar interests, not to mention generally building a sense of community among group moderators.

Finally, this group is a place in which we can discuss various important ideas that may have emerged separately in multiple groups, thereby providing us with a better sense of what the free will of the broader Gaia community is, which will, in turn, help us to be better moderators.

Joining the Group

All group cultivators, moderators and other enthusiastic community advocates are encouraged to join the group. To do so, simply contact one of this group's moderators, who are: Grey, Sandra and Meenakshi, Bruce, and Dave.

Enjoy!
