/r/Coach Mod Applications Open!

Hi again r/Coach! Activity level on the sub continues to increase. Which is awesome! But between that and my impending departure from the mod team (this is my last week), it does mean the mod team could use some more help.

#MODERATOR APPLICATION HERE

##What modding r/Coach entails

Let me say upfront that this doesn't mean new ideas aren't welcome. This is purely a basic day-to-day overview.

• Checking "New" for new posts. Seeing what's getting posted all day, making sure duplicate posts get yoinked, staying on top of things.
• Reviewing the mod queue. There are a bunch of filters set up to either flag or filter new posts, so you have to check what lands in the mod queue and either approve them or confirm there's an issue and add a removal reason/explanation, or further action if necessary, like banning spambots.
• Staying on top of active posts. Some discussions attract a lot of comments, and it's important to keep an eye on these posts and make sure everyone's staying civil and following the rules.
• Answering modmail. We don't get a ton of modmail but when we do we try to reply promptly.
• Generally participating and being friendly and helpful. This should be a given!

##What we're looking for

• Commitment. This shouldn't be a full-time job for anyone, but if you sign up, you should actually want to help, and be committed to helping for a while, however much you can. Seriously, every bit helps, don't be put off if you only have a little time to offer.
• Interest in the community's wellbeing. You gotta care about this place and about people's enjoyment thereof. You gotta care how the community feels about how we do things.
• A collaborative spirit. Ideally moderating this sub is a team effort, between the mod team and the users as much as between the moderators. It ties into interest in the community's wellbeing.
• A breadth of availabilities. Ideally we're somewhat scattered around and can cover most or all times, so things aren't sitting around in queues.

I hope that basically covers it? The form is a place to elaborate on yourself as a potential moderator, but if you have any questions/comments you're free to share them below as well.

Thanks as always for being a great community!
