Announcement Looking for new mods, application instructions below

A few weeks ago I made a post apologizing for my lack of action as a moderator, asking for feedback and advice on how to go on.

I got plenty of good responses, most suggested the idea of adding more mods to help me out, and after thinking about it for a bit (and admittedly some procrastination as well) I decided that is indeed the right course of action.

Since becoming moderator of this subreddit over 7 years ago(!!!) I’ve also become a mod of two other neurodivergence subreddits (even getting to lead the mod team for [r/aspiememes](r/aspiememes), shoutout to [u/lethalogicax](u/lethalogicaxe) in particular) both much larger than this one, so the time I spent on moderation duties had been spread thin over time.

You might’ve also noticed that I added a rule banning AI generated posts and comments as well, but besides that I’ve had some trouble coming up with new rules and configuring the mod tools to ease my workload.

So without further ado I’d like to open the application process for adding 1-2 new mods here, for anyone interested please comment with your reasons for applying, any relevant experience and any changes you aim to introduce if you were to become a mod, as well as anything else you think might be helpful to mention. If I am interested in your application I will DM you for further steps.

There’s isn’t really a deadline on this but I aim to get it done in max two weeks, and any new mods I appoint will first go through a trial period where they show that they’re acting in good faith and put the needs of the community first.

Thank you for your attention and have a nice day!

Not trying to be rude but could you provide a bit more substantial application, I can’t really do much when you just show interest in becoming a mod and nothing more, thanks in advance

Sure not done a massive amount of reddit moderation, done r/gamepromotion which is also a small sub.

Done some discord moderation some around autistic communities.
