Annalisa Franceschini	Moderation Gateway said Hi all :) If you are new to the training it would be great to hear about what encouraged you to sign up... share your story with us we would love to hear from you. Best of luck with the training. MG Team :) Hello, for me, mostly: learning something that could allow me to work from home; the training looked like a good investment for the future and affordable at that moment; somebody I know recommended it. At first I also thought I could moderate without any training, but after I changed my mind totally! So much information that I would just underrate, like PII and the attitude towards grooming, bullying and suicide threats. The training also made me rethink the way I post PII online and recalled to mind episodes of bullying I assisted when I was in school, and how important is having somebody that can handle that, because it's difficult for a teenager to report somebody in the "group".. However, now that I'm aware of the social value of a moderator I understand better the reason of the training and the responsibilities connected to the job..
