[MODPOST] Open Call for Moderators

Cue Music!

Welcome, WritingPromptians! This is a call for moderators. Do you have what it takes? Will you stand with your fellow mods on the front lines of battle against the trolls and rule-breaking users? Can you join the ranks of the elite to vanquish evil and spread creativity throughout the lands of reddit? if so, read on...

###What We Do

• Approve/remove every post to the sub

• Handle reported posts and comments

• Scan posts to ensure things are running smootly

• Answer modmails

• Contribute to the community, which can mean writing, reading, and/or providing tips and motivation

• Hang out with each other to discuss mod things and non-mod things

###What We Expect

• Your account is older than 2 months and has at least 100 combined karma (post and comment)

• Joining our ranks to contribute, which means making an effort

• Using RES and toolbox when on a desktop to assist in modding activities

• Using mobile productively to mod when needed, regardless of the limitations

• Communicating effectively, including joining our slack team, staying up to date on important discussions, and informing senior mods when you will be unavailable

###What We Don't Want

• Joining the mod team and constantly doing the absolute minimum

• Acting against the interest of the subreddit (for example: forgetting you are representing the sub when speaking officially)

• Constantly disappearing or not contributing to the team without communicating effectively
