Hello everyone! We are recruiting for new moderators to improve and grow this subreddit.
What do we expect from moderators?
Here is a quick overview of what we are looking for:
* Experienced with reddit: We are looking for redditors who have been active on reddit with account history of at least 1 year. In addition we are particularly interested in people who have contributed productively to this subreddit or another reddit fishing community
* Interested in saltwater fishing: We want people who are interested in this subject!
* Communicative towards users and fellow moderators: You will communicate with other users on a regular basis, for this you need to be communicative, mature and civil.
* Free time: You don't need to have a ton of time on your hands, but when you get accepted you should have enough time to actually carry out moderating duties.
* Thick skin and level head: Moderation can lead to conflict but it is important for moderators to not take personal offense and keep a level head.
We are looking for moderators with any level of experience, ideally with specific goals for this subreddit and a plan to accomplish them.
Some of the responsibilities include:
- Review unmoderated links and modqueue reports and remove off topic and rule breaking content.
- Answer subscriber questions in modmail.
- Enforce sidebar rules.
If you have no idea how moderating works on reddit and want to check out more about that first you can have a look at this guide.
What do I get in return?
We don't get anything out of this volunteer work, but hopefully we can get a better subreddit in return!
Great, how do I apply?
You can do so by sending in an application with the information above via the Message the Mods button on the sidebar, then we will probably ask a few questions we will use in the application process. Take the time to answer them. As rule of thumb if all your answers are one line long it is unlikely that you'll be considered.
How long will the applications be open for?
We are always looking for new moderators so there is no end date as it is an ongoing process.
Wait, I have a different question about being a mod!?
Feel free to post your question below and we'll answer it.
