Tips for working well as a team within a Freegle group
- Swap numbers asap in case of emergencies that lead to a sudden inability to mod (!)
- Respect each other's skills and different time commitments
- Consider having informal meet ups every 3 months, maybe sometimes with neigbouring group mods
- Meet up online if face-to-face meet ups never seem to happen
- Have your own mods' group - some freegle groups cc relelvent messages to the group-owner address, others have a yahoo group that's just for mods of one or a couple of adjoining re-gifting groups. Advantages:
- archive
- files
- practice polls
- chat & support
- Check the management logs from time to time to ensure that the bulk of the modding is not being done by one mod - this puts the group at risk for several reasons:
- the busy mod may be more likely to burn out
- if the busy mod is not available there may be a serious gap in modding cover
- other mods may feel that they are not getting sufficient opportunity to mod and lose interest
