IFTAS is pretty amazing.
Check out these resources - https://connect.iftas.org/library/
They also have a matrix room for moderators to chat with other moderators. PM me for a link, I don't know how public they want it to be so I won't put it here.

MODERATORS
Rimu that's great thanks so much!
I use this community for such discussions.
Same
On reddit I think it was /r/amitheasshole
Define support
Help with using the moderation panel, ideas, bit of support when we have a rough modding day etc
Most of what you're asking for is what this group is for. Also, reach out to people if you need help/wanna chat. I'm always available. I would say others from my team's too but don't wanna put them on the spot.
I will say this, the best thing you can do is refrain from getting emotionally attached. The more you're willing to appoint people to share your load, the better. Don't fool yourself into thinking you have to prop up a community single handedly, sometimes it's better to let things trickle at their own pace.
Thanks sabre do you know how I add a second mod? I tried to do it on my community couldn't work it out
you need to do it on a post or comment they've made in the community
Mate thanks so much! Just managed to add it
Glad you got it sorted
