Group Mod Challenge- Part II
Welcome back, Mod Squad! Thank you for joining and participating in the first challenge! Congratulations and thank you to all who participated in the first challenge. I hope you all enjoyed learning about each other’s communication styles and how the room environment could change based on your communication style.
It reflects that how you communicate and interact has a huge impact on the support level and safety level of the chatroom. There is no perfect communication style but to be an effective communicator, you need to adapt and change the way you communicate based on the chatroom, environment, and situation. It is always good to develop a flexible approach to interact with the members in the chatroom to provide support and a listening ear to them. Let’s continue doing it.
And speaking of challenge, welcome to Mod Challenge- II. This challenge is focused on earning badges related to moderation and discussions.
Complete these tasks and nominate fellow moderators for the following badges, if they completed it
Discussion Badges
If you already have these badges, then you could complete the tasks again to achieve as many badges as you can. For example, if you are working towards the Mod Champion badge category, then have a look at your total group chats count and add 8 group chats to it to get’em.
This challenge will be for the next two weeks. At the end of this two-week challenge, you will receive information for the next one! And at the end of the quarter, the top 3 chat room moderators who complete all the challenges successfully and meet the criteria of the award-winning mod will be awarded the badge: Award-Winning Mod!
Note: The first challenge updates will be shared on May 01, 2021.
I am signing up for the challenge and I invite every moderator to accept the challenge too! May we grow together as the best moderators of the community!

@ASilentObserver
wow okay, almost forgot to update !
I have most of the badges already !
Applied for Conversationalist badge, didn't receive it yet!
Most work takes into hosting sessions and answering ERs ... 😮
Yeah. ER part is the hardest... At least for me.
@richuyulin
At least you're a global mod. Even harder for me xD
Literally all my response counted for are Newbie hub rooms. 😅 But yes being global mod does come with advantages in this aspects.

@ASilentObserver
Thanks Obs! These challenges give me incentive to work harder.
(I accidentally got the mod siren badge so would be grateful if you could remove it till I earn it).
I have Mod Champion, Mod Major, Mod On, Mod Star, Mod Squad, Mediator Mod, Pop Up Ninja, I believe I qualify for Oprah and Conversationalist (I don't think I have those though). Just have to work towards the Mod Siren Badge which is tough since I can't mod in all rooms.
Thank you for this update!
@ASilentObserver
I am awaiting to see if I passed a course I took can remember which one it was forthinking development program

@ASilentObserver
all done ! Waiting on my conversationalist badge , whenever the team assigns it to our profiles 😊
Thank you so much for this challenge!
I've gotten the Mod Star, Mod On, Mod Major and Mod Champion badges. I've hosted discussions but I'm not sure how to get the final badges. Overall, I'm working towards the second box of badges (Mediator, Siren and Mod Squad).
Take care :) <3
@Kara13V Great job :) Thanks for everything you do!
