Hello Group Moderators team!

The final month of the year has begun, a time of celebration and good wishes we send to one another. On that note, we have some helpful updates to share with you, with a focus on safety and clarity.

We are reintroducing the updated Moderator Activity Log Form. All moderators should already have access to it, no additional links are required. If you are a Group Support moderator but don’t have access to the form, please message @CheeryMango, @EvelyneRose or @PuzichkinCat to receive access.

(Please do not share the form with anyone, and do not post the link in public spaces)

When to submit the Moderator Activity Log Form

Even though our group support rooms are meant to be safe and supportive spaces for all, sometimes, as moderators, we may find ourselves in difficult or tense situations in rooms and need to share our side of the situation. This could mean showing we did the right thing as a moderator, or reporting the event to see what we could have done differently or whether the situation could have been handled better, or for any other potential outcomes or benefits from sharing your perspective of a situation you handled in a group room. Remember that as a team, we’re always growing and improving together.

We encourage you to file the Moderator Activity Log form if you have used moderation tools and/or conflict resolution methods, to remain accountable for and transparent in your actions. Your responses to this form will be kept confidential and will only be used to your benefit and to better support you in your role as a moderator. If there are learning opportunities, more training and resources will be offered to those who request them. We’re in this together, and we’ve got your back!

Please note, this form should NOT be used to report interpersonal conflicts with other users or as a replacement for behavioral reports. Remember to not include any irrelevant/revealing/sensitive or confidential information about other users, instead, please focus on the group support event you are describing and how you handled it.

We encourage you to use this form especially:

• To report the use of moderation tools or techniques

• To tell your side of the story

When to not use this form:

• To report a conflict with another member or listener (instead, please submit a request here)

Please see Filing Behavioral Report Forms: All the information you might need
