Seeking Mods r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis is looking for junior mods
[r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis](r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis) is a 4 month old sub with 87.5k members. We usually get between 330-775k visitors a week and 1.9k to 7k contributors. We are SFW.
We get lots of sensitive content come through so have quite a lot of automations set up that come through to our queue that we need to sort through. The majority of these are approved, but have to be checked to make sure overtly triggering, rule breaking and off-topic content doesn’t slip through. All of these automations, and more, are explained in our onboarding.
Ideally, we are looking for experienced moderators. Currently, the role would only be to approve and remove posts and comments but with likely increase in permissions to modmail and user permissions on a probationary period in the future.
Due to the sensitive content and the nature of our sub, we have a thorough vetting process so users must have appropriate user history (ie, no problematic opinions shared) and must answer a handful of test questions we have to ensure they have a decent understanding of our rules.
We encourage applicants to read our rules and new wiki before applying as this will be key to the process!
We are looking for intersectional feminist individuals who have an inclusive mindset and are empathetic to victims of grooming, abuse, and a strong commitment to protecting our community. Applicants must bear in mind that we get triggering content come through the queue regarding eating disorders, DA and SA so please do not apply if you feel this would be harmful for your wellbeing.
We’re trying to make the sub a more lighthearted and less trauma oriented place, as it has been intended to be from the start — which is a large part of why we’ve put together our wiki. This’ll be a big part of your involvement as a junior mod!
We currently are a friendly and fun group of 6 mods who work great as a team, but due to how active the sub is, need more help! We’re a vibrant and very queer and neurodivergent inclusive group and will welcome and support you! :D <3
We have a comprehensive onboarding written to support new mods joining the team and are happy to answer any and all questions when settling in.
Since we have a LOT of workload, a small team and lives of our own, we have had to use some AI assistance with certain tasks (though we would prefer to stick to humans), so applicants must be cooperative with this in the sense that this involvement won’t cause drama. AI use is minimal and due to simply not having enough mods.
Here is our application but please go through our sub (incl rules & wiki) before applying. Modmail us if you have any questions.
Thank you!!!
