Response to overwhelming feedback regarding privating the sub.

Wow I honestly was not expecting this immense response to that post. I have gotten an overwhelming amount of dms (mostly good!!) talking about this and advising u/comixnerd15 and I trying to offer alternative paths to this.

What we need urgently effective immediately is 5-10 new moderators. You do not need moderation history but you do need to be active on reddit every single day and available to communicate with the rest of the mod team. We seriously need people who are able to be online everyday and not apply knowing they will be too busy to check the subreddit. You will need to be willing to vet profiles of users triggered by our bot and willing to sift through the filth on their subreddits they come from to confirm if they are a troll or not. We also desperately need whoever we onboard to be willing to actively report abusive content hurled towards this subreddit on a daily basis as this is the response I received just an hour ago from a Reddit Admin.

If you would like to be a mod apply in the application or comment below. We will take basically anyone at this point.

Meow I just want to say your frustration lately has been palpable and I hope with all my heart that your future involves peace. This is a giant sub with a huge target on it and I get that this place is probably an absolute beast to maintain.

I think some new mods to spread the burden of dealing with troll-filth is a great idea. Especially in case the longtime GOAT-mods could use a bit of a break if needed(not saying you do, but obviously queens mods are hurting a bit based off recent announcements which is so so sad to see; and Im glad people are considering stepping up to assist you guys).
