@EmmaE
Thank you for posting this Emma! 💕
We are always looking for new people to join the team! It's a great team to be apart of :)
I would like to join the community, I am new. I just found out my uncle passed away and I’m emotionally dead inside right now.. I have no need to want or do anything. I’m not sure how this app works but I need to talk to someone, if anyone wants to talk please don’t be shy.
Hi @EmmaE
Thank you for creating these roles. I tried applying for forum supporter (members and listeners) but the date I typed in was not accepted and I could not move on further with the application. Can you please fix this ?
@GoldenRuleJG
hi, thank you so much for applying to become a forum supporter! please feel free to reach out to @Mel, our forum/subcommunity ambassador, and she'll be able to help you out and fix your application (:

@EmmaE Thank you
@GoldenRuleJG ahí! That's because you may not meet certain criteria to apply for the role! Please feel free to keep working on it and apply again once you've got that <3 (criteria is on the form!)
@Mel That's a shame. I was pretty sure I did meet it. Thanks anyway.
