HELP WANTED: We are actively recruiting a couple new moderators
Hey everyone. I know I have already posted this a few weeks ago, but I wanted to give everyone another chance to throw their name out there if they’re interested. Every applicant will be considered, regardless of your “history” with the sub (good and bad).
This will be a process, and we are not completely sure how many people we will be adding (all depends on how many people apply), but personally I was thinking at least 2 more, probably no more than 4. We will be accepting applications starting today, and we will make a decision sometime in late January to get the new people in place before spring training. Keep in mind, we have more than doubled (almost tripled!) in size since the last time we added moderators. It’s not easy at times, and you will piss some people off. Especially with a LOT of new members who haven’t been around forever like some of us.
We are definitely looking for different time zone coverage. Most of us are based on the east coast, and while I spend a lot of time awake in the wee hours of the morning, not everyone can do that. Obviously not a requirement, but would be strongly appreciated. The use of different platforms can definitely come in handy as well. I am a 100% app user, the other mods are a pretty decent mix between app/web/etc, but moderating is definitely easier if you use the desktop interface (or so they tell me.)
Feel free to apply, if you’d like, using the following link. Everyone is welcome to apply, and we will be looking through every application in hopes of finding the best fits. Thank you all
Only if you have Passan or Curry announce the new mods otherwise I won’t believe it.
I’m tempted but I’d go mad with power. Can’t handle it.
I know I'm late but I laughed so hard at this comment 😂😂😂
Here for the lols. No more responsibility please!
I'd be a terrible mod. I don't know why anyone wants to do it, but I'm grateful for their work. Life is hard enough, I don't need reddit to become work lol
Grateful for the mods here but also it requires so much patience. I would kick so many people out it would be bad.
How many hours do mods typically need to spend here?
You’ll get your moderators when we do something in free agency!
damn, can’t have shit in
DetroitThe BronxWhat's the pay like? /s
Another formal request to allow pictures so people don’t post gifs of still images!! Please!!!
That's usually used for lineup announcements. Can people not simply... transcribe that information and post it, or is link karma that vital?
As we have said a handful of times now, this decision will be made with the help of the presumptive new moderators as well as the current active moderators.
Can the new mods get us imai? Cuz Cashman clearly is still asleep and Hal is just being Hal
Damn, I’m tempted. I think I contribute enough to this subreddit (got the top 25% poster achievement earlier this month) and would be able to provide coverage for west coast hours.
Though, I’m almost 100% sure I’d piss somebody off…
This has got to be one of the most thankless jobs I can think of.
Not even a job. At least you get paid money dollars for that.
I already blame you for Cashman not doing shit yet
I piss at least 1 person off every time I make a post lol it gets funny after the 4th or 5th time
We got moderators at home.
I seek revenge give me the POWER!!!!
Make me a qualifying offer
When does this close
We are going to start the next step in the process in a couple weeks, and we plan to have the new mods in place before spring training
Hmmmmm might have to apply🤔
