How to Recruit Moderators?

452 views

Hi Everyone,

is looking for new moderators.

There is no pay. You can expect people to be rude to you. People will blame you personally for actions you take that are entirely in line with the subreddit rules. There is no personal glory, and you can’t use your position to cross promote yourself, your personal projects, or your other subreddits.

The only redeeming quality is that get help the community out, as a whole. If that sounds like a position you’re interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

Fill out this form: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvnGCSZNJ_9Sviis-AX2GWF_V_f8Rr9u5c0Lp9lT2PE0Md2w/viewform?usp=sf_link](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvnGCSZNJ_9Sviis-AX2GWF_V_f8Rr9u5c0Lp9lT2PE0Md2w/viewform?usp=sf_link)

If you have any questions before you apply, please put them in this thread.

We don’t know what kind of demand we’ll have, so we can’t promise an individual response for every applicant.

I’ll also use this thread as a brief opportunity to plug [/r/ideasforeli5](https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasforeli5), where any ideas for eli5 are presented directly to the moderators and for public discussion.

(Obviously Rule 3 doesn’t apply in this thread, the only real rules are try to stay mostly on topic and Rule 1 is never waived, so be nice!)

Thank you

Bloody hell, that’s a longer application form than you need to fill out to be a nurse. And at least you get paid and free tea and coffee for that,

My suggestion FWIW is to stop bothering to moderate questions except offensive ones, The voting system means obviously pointless ones “ELI5: Why is the sky blue?” will be pushed down. It must take a lot of time for negligible benefit.
