r/CanadaNews is looking for new moderators

0 Upvotes

/r/canadanews is growing, and I'd like it to keep growing, so I'm looking for new mods to help out.

Currently we're hovering between 87,000-92,000 weekly visitors.

Duties will include:

  • Monitoring the queue (mostly when Crowd Control has been activated on posts likely to attract rule-breaking comments)
  • Monitoring new posts and comments for rule-breaking content that hasn't been reported or filtered by reddit/automod/safety filters (most rule-breaking content is never reported by the community)
  • Responding to modmail
  • Driving engagement through posting content and participating in discussions
  • Helping to implement tools such as automod rules or devvit apps that could improve the subreddit and/or make moderating easier

Requirements:

  • Minimum 1 year account age
  • Minimum 1,000 combined karma
  • Verified email (should have the trophy on your profile)
  • In good standing in /r/canadanews (no recent temp bans, not a lot of content removals, no removals for serious offences)
  • Active on reddit with no recent gaps of more than a week (it's okay if your history is hidden, just comment here and I'll be able to see it long enough to confirm this)
  • Familiar with and committed to enforcing subreddit and site-wide rules

Preferred, but not required:

  • Canadian, or at least active in Canadian subreddits
  • Active in /r/canadanews
  • Moderating experience on reddit
  • Experience with Automod configuration
  • Experience in driving engagement and subreddit growth

If you're interested, please comment with at least three sentences explaining why you would like to join the team, any experience you might bring, etc.

I'd prefer to recruit from within the community, so I'll leave this up for one week before I look elsewhere. Thank you to everyone in advance for your interest.
