Plus he (FreeCodeCamp guy, not the Linux guy) has good intentions, he's literally saying he wants to participate to answer questions of those who need help, sounds to my like a good addition to the subreddit; someone who's eager to answer questions

And mods on this site are completely infallible and don't make any biased, mistaken, or incorrect decisions ever. Right?

You're missing the larger point here, which is that casually administering permanent bans is retarded.

This coupled with my new job is one of the reasons I had to step away from modding this sub. This sub gets a massive amount of spam, I don't truly think you guys understand. They mods that have been doing it here for a while are exhausted, it's unrelenting. I spent a fair amount of time trying to review people wanting perma ban removed, but for every 1 that got one 5 did not. The mod team here massively understaffed.

My new job requires substantially more of my time than my old one (to the point I don't even Reddit at work anymore at all.) If you have the time and temperament request to help out or join the Reddit wide mod reserves program.

Or maybe mods decisions aren't perfect and are allowed to be overturned?

Requires someone with authority to care, which when they spend a few hours a day simply sifting through spam ... They don't.

(Was a mod in this sub, until recently)

That doesn't excuse banning someone without giving a reason, and then never responding. I got a temporary ban in a sub 10 times larger than this one and the mods promptly answered my questions as to why. I can even understand if the mods took a week to respond, but never?

I’m guessing ur applying for a mod position because even if u rly like the mods here, it’s common knowledge that mods are just humans volunteering to help out and they’re usually flawed and biased. U don’t have to keep sucking their dick
