Hi @Phani. There are a few types of moderators.

• Google Moderators: There are folks like me who are Google employees and Local Guides community team members.
• Connect Moderators: These are Level 5 Local Guides who go above and beyond here on Connect keeping it a safe, welcoming and helpful place. You can read more in this post.
• Supported Community Moderators: These are Level 3+ Local Guides who own and moderate their own Local Guides communities. You can read more in this post which was also previously shared.

Thanks for sharing information, @ShafiulB!

As an aside is there a goto place that lists current Google and Connect moderators?

If not perhaps it would be useful to have one (I recently took part in a thread in which somebody wanted to contact a moderator, my response would have been more helpful if I had been able to give him a steer as to who the moderators are).

Hi @PeterGO. The post I shared earlier lists the current Connect moderators and the team is sharing a Google moderator post this week. 🙂
