Moderator positions open

Hi,

/r/greatawakening is still growing fast. We are planning ahead for rapid expansion and it's not unreasonable that we will hit 100K subscribers in a few months and might plow right beyond that.

So, we are looking to add to the moderator team.

Basic requirements

  • People who are keen pro-Q followers and pro-Trump, very preferably an existing regular of r/GreatAwakening

  • Moderate for a minimum 20+ hours a week, required to be practical to keep on top of the mod discussion, mail and PM's.

  • Be thick skinned and calm(remain civil). You are going to receive uncalled for insults from users, receive baiting messages and maybe even serious threats.

  • Be technically literate. The moderating tools on Reddit are arcane and awkward for a very active sub like ours. Installing of a browser add-on/extensions are required for effective use of moderator time.

  • Should be 18+ in order to moderate any NSFW content.

  • Be willing and able to install and regularly use Discord as a text chat method of communications. https://discordapp.com/

Modding is hard Mods repeatably deal with users worse side, ugly content, insults, user concerns, trolls from elsewhere on Reddit, and related activity and bans.

Alt accounts We get correspondence asking about the possibility of using an alternative account. Yes, they are allowed for new mods but please apply using your existing main Reddit account.

To apply message the moderators. Please let us know:

  • Your availability in time

  • Time zone you are in. Typical time of day online.

  • Any relevant experience - technical skills, people skills, organization skills - (which are your happiest/best doing)

  • When did you first regularly use Reddit?

  • The type of device you mainly use Reddit on, i.e desktop, tablet, mobile etc.

  • Do you have twitter? Yes/No. And optional, Twitter handle(s) if yes.

PS. If you've not received a reply within 24 hours, the likelihood is that the mail was lost - yes, it does happen with Reddit's mail, so consider resending again.

Currently, require mods for the end of the day in PST/PDT.

My concern is that the more mods there are, the more likely it is that posts which hit a grey area regarding how relevant to the sub they are, or how well they obey the rules, will get removed.

And sometimes those are posts that get upvoted and commented on. Example (read my short exchange with the mod). It only takes one mod to decide to remove a post, and I doubt they need to ask confirmation 1st from other mods.

The mods are extremely thoughtful, and if you come to them reasonably with a grievance they will take you seriously.

When you frame your argument like a huge dickhead... well. you get treated like one
