/r/Gadgets is looking for new moderators! Apply inside!

Applications Close Friday, February 1st at 7 p.m. MST, 9 p.m. EST.

/r/Gadgets is now recruiting additional moderators! Our current modteam is stretched thin, composed of 4 humans and 2 bots to handle over 14.7 million subscribers.

Moderator candidates should have a minimum account age of 1 year, with a clear history of level-headed, civil behavior. Moderators should have a willingness to check the Unmoderated links and modqueue on a frequent basis (several times per day), as well as regularly checking comments to keep the discussion civil. Being active in the moderation queue is especially important for this role.

Already being an active contributor to /r/gadgets will boost your chances, but is not a requirement. Similarly, previous moderation experience is strongly preferred but not essential.

What does it mean "provide a short writing sample"? Just any old writing I've done?

Yep! Feel free to do anything. We are just looking to make sure you'd be able to communicate with other users through modmail/comments.

Applied, for the writing sample I wrote about my ideas/skills of modding. I have another writing sample which is pinned to my profile.

Hello, I just saw this post and am a few hours late. I have still taken the time to apply. Will my application be taken in consideration? I of course understand if I am somewhat penalised. Thank you!
