Room Leaders in the Discussion Rooms
The Community Hub is YOUR space to cultivate community and whilst we do what we can to facilitate this, the community spirit really comes from YOU and other members.
So to help discussion rooms work well, we’ve created a community role: Room Leaders.
What does a Room Leader do?
- We ask Room Leaders to take a particular interest in the room they'd like to support, by popping in once or twice a week to see what’s new in the room and help any conversations along if needed.
How many Room Leaders are there per discussion room?
- There's no upper limit, especially in rooms that have a lot of activity, but we think it's good for all rooms to have at least 2 leaders.
- If you'd like to start a new Member Group, to begin with you'll be the only Room Leader unless you contact us with another member.
Who can be a Room Leader?
- Any member can be a Room Leader and if you think you'd like to do this, we encourage you to put yourself forward. It's a great way to support the community and connect with other members all around the world.
- There are no eligibility criteria, other than being friendly and supportive to others 🙂 (and of course if the group is based on a special interest, it will of course help if you share that interest).
How to put yourself forward to be a Room Leader
- Just drop us an email to info@naturestudio.com, letting us know which room/s you'd like to be a leader of.
- We'll then get your name added to as a Room Leader and let you know once we have.
- In the meantime please start as you mean to go on, by participating in that discussion room.
How to be a great Room Leader
- Subscribe to receive email notifications from your Room, or pop in at least a couple of times a week to keep up with what's new
- Keep an eye out for any unanswered questions and get back to members who are waiting to hear from others
- You could even start new discussions from time to time, by asking open questions and sharing your own experiences.
How will it show in the website that I'm a Room Leader?
- When somebody visits your Room, they'll see a description at the top of the page, and your @-name will appear there. The 'Level' icon that appears with your profile around the website won't change if you become a Room Leader.
What if I'm on holiday?
- Hopefully there will be other Leaders in your room too, so it shouldn't matter if you take a little break. If you're the only named Room Leader, or if you anticipate to be away for longer than a couple of weeks, please let us know so we can arrange for someone to check in on your Room whilst you're not able to.
