How to join
Guidelines for Joining Moderator Discussion Groups
To ensure timely approval, please note the following:
1. Email address must match moderator address on local Freecycle.org group
Applications will be processed only when the email address used to join leadership groups is promoted to Mod or Lead Mod status on Freecycle.org groups. If mods are working with Freecycle teams like GOA or NGA during the new moderator orientation process, those teams must have left the group before approval.
2. Must use personal email address
Applications will be approved for personal email addresses only. These also must match the email used on the local Freecycle.org group. Any email address containing the term 'freecycle', 'moderator' or any abbreviation of these terms is considered to be 'generic', even if your name is also included.
That being said, we understand that some people might be wary of using a personal address publicly for the group; therefore we can allow two email addresses per mod per group; one 'personal' and one 'generic.' It is fine to use a generic email for modding the group and a personal email address for discussion groups, provided that you inform GOA of the two email addresses you are using.
Approval
Approval will be within one week if the above criteria are met. Please contact your GOA if you have any difficulties joining FLC. http://wiki.freecycle.org/Moderator_Manual:How_to_Contact_Your_GOA
