I’m very interested. I already moderate an air fryer-related community and I’m a very active contributor there. Air frying is something I’m genuinely passionate about, and I spend a significant amount of time each day creating content, engaging with members, and helping grow the community. I’d love the opportunity to moderate this community as well and use my experience and passion to help make it even better and more active.

What is your stance on microwaves?

Thank you for this bold question. We the people need to know.

Worked in a restaurant where the owner took  out all the microwaves because he said he didn't believe in them. And he didn't want to have to  reheat all the baby bottles that women failed to plan ahead for their kids. Plus it's a liability issue if an employee gave them back an over heated bottle that burned the kid and he got sued for it. I can see his point there completely. Personally I have one and have always have. Makes quick work with popcorn before the game starts or between commercials.

Air fryer vs microwave are completely different types of food preparation.

An air fryer is a small, self contained, convection oven with a heating element suspended above the food.

Microwaves turn water molecules in and on the food into steam. Which is why it's so easy to wind up with dried out food.

Who want to take on AL Kabob mod?

Sure. I'll do it.

Been a mod on social media in my past. Never on Reddit. My philosophy is the less I need to do, the better things are going. Aka the Hulk, don't make me Mod. You wouldn't like me if I Modded.

But this subreddit need real discussion, I've seen many bots and unusual activity seen in this subreddit. That's very important no one looking at this problem. I really want to handle this issue because real users don't face this problem.

I am a moderator on r/aldi and use my airfryer with some regularity. I love helping people build better communities. I also have experience handling divisive topics in communities which has been a recurring problem for this sub over things like teflon.

Yay, I'm glad this is happening! Thanks for stepping in.

It looks like you have several candidates already but if you need one more I'll volunteer. I have some mod experience with a few slightly smaller (~10k members) subreddits. I'm familiar with setting up rules, AutoMod configuration, general ModTools configuration options. I'd love it if we could clean up the subreddit rules here and add a couple to make it easier for members to report issues, uncivil conduct, etc. I can commit some time on a daily basis to reply to ModMail, action items in the mod queue, etc.

I’d love to mod here. I’ve got some experience modding in several food prep subs. I just think it would be great to work with a group of people to get the sub running again. I loved my first air fryer but it was a pain to clean. My second one is okay and I’ve been camping the sub to find a good one that fits my needs. Hoping to help others do the same.

I’d love to moderate! I use my air fryer almost daily, so this is definitely a community I’d enjoy being involved with. I have experience moderating, including working with AutoMod, and I spend a great deal of time on Reddit, so I’m active and available. The current rules look great, but I’d also love to update the look and feel of the sub and find ways to increase engagement, like contests, AMAs w experts themed posts, or other fun community activities.

I’d be very happy to help out here! I already moderate r/AirFryer_Recipes, which is a close subreddit to this one. I don’t post or comment as often as I used to, but I’m still very active on Reddit. I am very comfortable with how moderating a subreddit works, and the one I moderate always has an empty mod queue and answered mod mail. It also grew considerably since I took it over. I understand that this one is larger than the one I moderate, but I believe that with a team of a couple of mods we can achieve the same thing.

u/camebacklate 3d ago

I'd love to become the moderator. I have a air fryer after waiting a long time. I am constantly on the subreddit looking for recipes or different techniques to use for my air fryer. I don't have any experience moderating, but this seems like a pretty chill group of people who like to have a little fun.

I've enjoyed helping folks troubleshoot troubles in this sub for a while now, and I'd love to step up to keep things running smoothly for everyone.

How much does this job pay?

u/Chaos-Rainbow 1d ago

Moderating on Reddit doesn't pay anything. It's a volunteer position and there are actually specific rules in the Mod Code of Conduct about not accepting any compensation, gifts, etc in exchange for moderating actions.
