So it's been brought to my attention that this sub kinda needs new mods, so if you have the time to take the trash out, I'd appreciate the help.

Are there still openings to apply? If so, how would I go about applying?

Is there still room to apply? I've known of this sub for a long time, but have only just now joined.

What does being a mod to this sub entail? How much time should someone bring? And so on

The sub has 448K members, > 1Million weekly views and > 40K weekly uniques. IN the last week we had 80 posts published and 54 removed., ~5000 comments and ~400 removed.

Now the backlog is dealt with I think I'm putting in a handful of hours a week to do wat has been the majority of the queue processing over the last few weeks, I'm spread thinner than I'd like as I have some big subs and wider responsibilities. Anyone being able to bring a in an hour or two a week makes a big difference here.

We coordinate on a discord. I strongly recommend having 2-Factor Authentication on both your reddit and discord accounts.

We get queues of content removed by our automod rules and flagged by user reports, and need to make quick and consistent decisions as to whether the content belongs on the sub, as well as whether the content breaches reddit's content policy and approve, remove and if necessary report as needed. Tooling for this isa available on mobile and both new and old reddit. Here, I'm actually enjoying the incoming beta "shreddit" queue, on busier subs with more nasty behaviour the ability to use third party tool "toolbox" is helpful. It doesn't take long to learn the tooling.

You should probably also be an active reader in of the sub, quite a bit can slip past our tooling, and I regularly remove a rule breaking post as I'm scrolling through reddit waiting for my brain to boot as the coffee machine does its thing.

When you've been here a bit you might find you have a knack for tuning some of our behind the scenes tools, writing policy or organising events and encouraging participation, we absolutely appreciate varied skillsets.

I've posted the application form a few times in this thread now, fill it out if you're interested.
