Introducing the Community Leader Program, and 2 Community Leaders

Hi,

We're very pleased to announce the launch of our new Community Leader program. As MedHelp has grown in both number of members and the number of communities we have, the needs of these communities has also grown. Our Pregnancy communities would like to see different features than our Ovarian Cancer community. Out of this need, we came up with the Community Leader program.

A Community Leader will be a MedHelp member who will act like an ambassador to MedHelp, helping to communicate the feedback from the community as well as help us communicate back to the community from MedHelp. When we launch new features, like the Notes feature today, they will be able to help out with any questions. In addition to helping MedHelp, they will also be working with their community to help it grow, by welcoming new members, bringing up suggestions, etc. As always, anyone is still welcome to contact MedHelp directly. We love hearing from our members and it's a big part of what has made the site what it is today.

One thing to note, Community Leaders, will not be replacing the MedHelp moderators currently monitoring the site, however, the Leaders will be able to help if there is an issue and work with our moderators to address it. The Leaders are not working for MedHelp, they are still members, but ones that have taken on some added responsibility.

We're extremely excited about this program, and we're pleased to announce that we already have two Community Leaders for the Pregnancy 21-34 Community.  Please join us in welcoming Brown Eyed Gurl and JoyRenee as the first two Community Leaders for the Pregnancy 21-34 Community. Both of them have been a terrific help to many of the members in here and we are excited that they agreed to help us and be community leaders in here.  

We're looking forward to working with them and you, to continue improving the experience in this community. The Pregnancy communities have grown a lot over the past year since we've launched, and they are one of the successes we're especially proud of here at MedHelp. We feel strongly this will help us continue to grow and improve in this area.

I want to address to issues brought up:

First, I already mentioned making the younger forum 18 and Under. It is being reviewed but may not change. The rules are not strict and if Brandy, the moderators, and myself feel someone is mature here then we're not going to mess around with making sure the age limits are followed strictly.

Second issue was community leaders in the 20 and Under community. I am currently the only community leader in that forum. When the forum becomes heavier I will suggest a few people who I think would make excellent community leaders. Right now that forum is not busy at all.

And the purple flower distinguishes the leaders so newbies can find us easy or if an issue arises.

Yay! This is a community effort to make this forum pleasant. We're not bosses over you guys. We're your ambassadors and basically we are here for YOU. I'm really excited about this and I'm glad you guys are excited, too!

I only say that about the forums becuase something was said to me about it by another poster.  I thought it was fine the way it was....too many forums makes it too hard to keep up with everything....

Some of the new changes are great but some of them I really don't like...part of the reason I haven't been on as much as I used to.

I'll suggest it but like said in the other announcement they don't have to be active in the 20 and under forum I'm only 22 and I hang out in this room plus the 35 and over room.  But I will voice your concern.  It's just a suggestion that maybe the mothers 20 and under would have more in common than the older mothers but they are more than welcom to stay in which ever room they feel comfortable whether it is the 21-34 or the 20 and under or even the 35 and older.  Hope this helps.

ok girls....here's a suggestion:  this 21-34 and 20 and under community... I think it needs to be changed....

it should be 18 and under and 19-34.  or  17 and under and 18-34 We have some members on the formerly 34 and under board that really don't fall into a catagory with teen pregnancies.

Just a personal opinion :)
