Recruiting Moderators for ELI5

240 views

Hi Everyone,

is looking for new moderators to join our team.

It is an excellent opportunity to help this community be better for everyone.

Fill out this form: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRXaZhv3R6I6xX0izKuGHYLqfVeZG5JncfCzLh5LksOhnRiA/viewform?usp=sf_link](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRXaZhv3R6I6xX0izKuGHYLqfVeZG5JncfCzLh5LksOhnRiA/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! The bot may still send you a message because it is confused, but we will put your comment back pretty quickly so don’t worry about that)

Thank you

If you like the community and would like to volunteer some time to keep it running smoothly, this is a great opportunity! If that applies to you, you are invited to apply, regardless of previous experience.

Obviously it’s good to know how things work with moderating, but if you’re rusty or even a bit new, that’s fine. Just make sure to fill out the form completely! There’s no harm in applying, and who knows, you may be a great fit!

So if I was previously banned for bot evasion does that make me more or less qualified to be a mod?

Here is the part of the show where I realize that I mostly lurk and don’t actually have any qualifications for modding 🙁
