@hsum4, I appreciate being asked about my interest. You can read more about why and how we moderate Connect (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/moderators/) and the Community Guidelines that help keep the Mayo Clinic Connect community safe, supportive, inclusive, and respectful (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/). In addition to the above reasons, moderators also help Connect members to one-another and discussions that may be helpful in forming relationships and a stronger support community.
