Hello /r/Seattle!
We are seeking new moderators to join the mod team! Ideally we would like to add 2-3 new mods in the next month.
We have a backlog of mod applications from the last 8 months, if you have applied during that time, please re-apply as the form has changed.
While being a moderator (anywhere really, but Reddit especially) is oftentimes a thankless job, it’s a great opportunity to get involved in your online community and you will help us shape what this place looks like going forward.
Basic requirements:
- Must be at least 18 years old and live in the greater Seattle area. These are absolutely hard requirements, we want to build our community from members of that same community.
- Must have a reddit account that shows a history of positive participation – your account must be at least a year old (or show us your previous accounts) and show adherence to basic reddiquette.
- Ability to make impartial, unbiased moderation decisions on reported content and stand by your reasoning. We understand that everyone is human, but we’re looking for users who can commit to remaining objective – you must believe that someone you don’t like has the right to say things you don’t agree with, so long as they are engaging civilly.
- You ideally have 1-2 hours per week (average) to contribute to moderation activities – even if it’s just checking on the queue or responding to modmail. This is flexible, of course – but we are looking for active moderators.
- Interest in helping build a community and a willingness to work as a team. We aren’t looking for lone wolves or independent / unresponsive teammates. Willingness to use and respond on Discord is mandatory.
- Moderation experience on other subreddits is a big plus, but not necessary. The same goes for any experience with moderator tooling (toolbox extension, automod, etc).
If you have questions please send us modmail.
The application is a Google form located here (we do not collect your email): https://forms.gle/qFWCQpHSpUayuKwp9
