Moderators Wanted!

As you probably know, I manage a large number of Gather groups on a diverse range of topics, from video games to economic survival. It's a lot of work - but it's also a lot of fun, and lets me see content from all over on many topics. Still, I think that I could be doing better if I had some moderators to help with the duties of group management on a day-to-day basis. If you enjoy any of these groups and would like to volunteer your services to help out, leave a comment and tell me your qualifications and what group you'd like to help moderate!
