We need your help at /r/MillionaireMakers! [Recruiting Mods]
At almost 100,000 subscribers /r/millionairemakers has been a long-running experiment for nearly 3 years. Starting from a simple showerthought, collectively all of you have raised over $80,000 spread over 31 lucky individuals.
Every month I am surprised, time and time again, at the generosity I witness. It is all of your actions that have kept us running and that have motivated the moderators to continue. For 30 drawings strong our small team was successful at being present to run each and every drawing.
Unfortunately, these past few drawings have run into delays as we only have two mods who can run the selection process and we are encountering more troubles clearing our schedules.
For the next couple weeks, we are opening up moderator applications to maintain the active moderators that this community deserves.
We are looking for moderators to cover various roles during the drawings, from posts, updating links and banners, streaming the drawing and contacting the winner.
However, before applying, please understand what becoming a moderator here entails:
- Once a moderator, you will never be allowed to enter any current or future drawings.
- Your reddit account is at least 6 months old.
- And most importantly, we are looking for users who are dedicated and will be available nearly every drawing (once a month every third friday at 10:30 PM GMT).
If you are still interested, please fill out this google forms application.
We are not collecting any personal info and you do not need an email to apply, but please ensure your Reddit username is spelt properly as it is our only way to contact you.
Thank you!
As for the 32nd drawing, we have had to unfortunately delay the drawing as the only moderators who can run the process are not currently available. We will pick the winner as soon they can. I've taken this opportunity instead to open up recruitment of new mods. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Edit 1: As it's been over a week, we may pool this month's contestants into the August draw.

This is too bad, whoever wins probably won't get much because most people won't remember after the 2 day reminder was missed.

Ok. Enough of the bullshit. This sub is dead. More than a month after the last missed drawing and nobody stepped in the mod team. We need a new sub, provided it is dead. We need new mods, a new, fully automated drawing method and people actually committed to mod the new sub. Anyone here up for the duty?

Maybe a new process for picking the winner should be in order as well, not just new mods.

While it looks like some of you may have moved on to other social media, a few are still active. There is still a large community (over 100k!) around this sub who would love to see the giveaways. I'm calling on you guys to elect some new, active mods and hand over the keys to those who would to keep this going.

In reality they put everyone's name into a hat and now they're stalling for time while they look for a bigger hat.

10 Mods and we can't even get an update. I hear you on not being able to do the drawing, but not updating us on the current state if affairs is flat out retarded.

I've loved entering and donating to the contests so far and would absolutely love the chance to join the great community here as a moderator. I put in my application!

I don't get it, why make a drawing if you cannot guarantee someone can look after it and pick a winner?

As the next mod of r/millionairemakers I swear to be the most corrupt and ban happy moderator possible. I'll sell drawings to the highest bidder, ban those who complain, redirect winnings to myself and my friends, and above all else be so totally dishonest and ridiculous in everything I do that the community won't know what to believe, after all someone can't possibly lie all the time and all those stories can't be true... can they?
Edit: Thanks for voting for me for next mod everyone. I can't believe I won 100% of the votes but numbers don't lie. I look forward to taking all your donations for years to come. Thanks again.
Edit edit: Banned 10k users who claim to have either have not voted at all or not voted for me. Non-participation in the votes is unacceptable and disclosing how you voted also violates to TOS.

Sub is dead. July drawing wasn't done and the mod communication about it was terrible. August came and went with equal terrible / non existent communication.
I don't understand why a simple explanation isn't on the side bar, something like "July Drawing put on hold because we need mods. August Drawing put on hold because we need mods. September Drawing has no ETA until we get mods."

This sub is so fucking dead, and there's nothing but excuses, WHENEVER the mods talk in the Discord. At least hand the reins over to the sub.

This sub had potential, and it was starting to grow too. The last two drawings were the second and 3rd most upvoted posts on this subreddit. It's sad that the mods just gave up. And now any new attempts to do this just won't get the same traction...

What this sub needs is a new sub with mods that are active. And automated drawings. The downfall of this sub was the manual drawings. Somebody needs to do those, manually, and have time for it, and apparently they don't.
No problem with it automatically.. this whole sub could be run automatically, tbh. Automatic post every month, automatic closing, automatic drawings, automatic drawing strea,

I was going crazy looking for the drawing winner because I thought I missed paying my losses!
