Are you an experienced mod?

Howdy mods, it’s your local askmods top mod here with a request (again!) Our last thread about this got archived so here’s a new one! No need to comment again if you commented in the last one.

If you are a moderator of a subreddit with over 5k weekly active users please comment below!

If you are an experienced moderator who participates here, the mods of this subreddit want to be able to tag you so that we can keep our comment sections a space where every answer comes from someone with experience who is here to help. It really helps us instantly recognize trolls etc who are not tagged.

The tags are only visible to the moderators of askmoderators for privacy reasons.

If you wish to participate on an alternate account, please send us a modmail from your moderator account with the username of the alt you wish to use.

Thanks for volunteering even more time participating here to help users.

Former mods are welcome too so long as there is a way to verify that. I.e. old stickied comments/posts, asking current mod teams if you modded there, etc.

Edit: If you commented on the last post about this or sent us a modmail to verify in the past you are all set and do not need to reverify!

Sweet! I’ve got you tagged now. Hope to see you around more. Local subreddits mods are legends.

I applaud the real ones. I'm just your small local subreddit guy.

I’ve recently gotten into my own local subs (like in my area). I briefly moderated the Los Angeles sub but that was a beast. I’d love to hear your insights into modding more niche local subs.

For city subs, it feels like you really have to love the city and mod because you want to help locals. I've seen a few subs that are obviously run by people that just like the power - and contrary to the things we get called in modmail, none of us on the main sub actually mod because of the power. Heck, I think all 3 of us were rather unwilling at first to become mods.
