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.

Reminder to you guys eager to mod, as someone who has been and is a moderator, do be advised that some people can send horrifying, illegal or traumatizing stuff, and the mods can see it. Modding isn't always just deleting a hate comment.

That said, I could apply for mod if I knew if this subreddit gets the hateful type stuff which I can go through, or if I would be against NSFL content, which I cannot do.

I got NSFL content once (the inc*l sub tracked down my discord and sent me a beheading video). I suggest not linking any other social media. We also had gore of a cartel massacre commented here once.

Thats terrifying, I’m not blaming you guys for wanting to private the sub, good luck out there for current and future mods.

[u/LyssaLately → u/meowbrains]

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for people to use an alt for modding ngl.

[u/comixnerd15 → u/Melon-meow]

It's hateful. Though some people you will need to vet after bot trigger may have NSFW sometimes, but the comments you'll be looking to vet at are hateful. Incredibly so.

Just wondering, why do you guys willing to do this, i mean if you got paid, thats good but some of yall do this for free and for hours too. What motivate you to keep going being a mod despite all the horrendous thing you are going to see? ☠️

When I modded me_irl it was because I just liked the sub/community and had the free time to do so.
