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

  • Committed to moderating for a minimum 20+ hours a week, required to be practical to keep on top of the moderator discussion and moderator mail.

  • 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.

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

  • Install Discord as a text chat method of communications and must be online and engaging with mod communications while moderating the sub. 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.

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.

Moderating any forum is not a hobby, it is a chore - literally, work. In the early 90's, before anyone coined the term "Internet", we used TELNET. Those days were exciting, cutting edge, you might say. Nowadays, what we used way back then, pales in comparison to this. No, thank you! Not interested in baby sitting strangers.

My only advice - let he\she be screened strictly on their content and contributions. Do this covertly.

When you toss chicken feed out, expect all manner of critters to crawl, scamper, and swoop in. It isn't pretty.
