Hosting Leaves Chat
Thank you!
Let’s begin with the most important part — thank you for making the decision to contribute your time to the Leaves community. We are only as good as the services we can offer, and it’s volunteers like you that make those services possible.
Our Hosting Philosophy
Our hosting goal across all of Leaves is consistency — no matter who is doing the hosting, any contact with our members should be in a similar voice that reflects predictable values, rules, and results.
What that means is that we work hard to script and template our communications, both to make it easier on ourselves (cutting and pasting is easier than writing everything from scratch) and to try as hard as we can to ensure that each host contact has a similar tone.
So while you’re welcome to participate in any other sessions you like any way you like, when you are in a hosting role try to step back and speak as the host and in the voice of the host. It’s hard not to participate as yourself, we get that, but remember that anything said under the Host banner speaks for Leaves and is taken differently by visitors, so it’s best handled with care. Don’t worry though, you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly.
