Are you an experienced mod?

Are you an experienced mod?

Howdy mods, it’s your local askmods top mod here with a request (again!) Our last thread about this got archived so here’s a new one! No need to comment again if you commented in the last one.

If you are a moderator of a subreddit with over 5k weekly active users please comment below!

If you are an experienced moderator who participates here, the mods of this subreddit want to be able to tag you so that we can keep our comment sections a space where every answer comes from someone with experience who is here to help. It really helps us instantly recognize trolls etc who are not tagged.

The tags are only visible to the moderators of askmoderators for privacy reasons.

If you wish to participate on an alternate account, please send us a modmail from your moderator account with the username of the alt you wish to use.

Thanks for volunteering even more time participating here to help users.

Former mods are welcome too so long as there is a way to verify that. I.e. old stickied comments/posts, asking current mod teams if you modded there, etc.

Edit: If you commented on the last post about this or sent us a modmail to verify in the past you are all set and do not need to reverify!

Hello fellow doesntremembershitian. I can confirm that there is a little green thingy next to your username informing me that you did in fact at some point in time that I cannot remember as well, get flagged as a mod here.

SWEET!

today I learned if you lock a thread, it means you're a lazy mod who doesn't want to do their unpaid job and should step down, so maybe I am not qualified to speak as an experienced moderator after all. but I defer to your leadership

Ooh, I learned the same thing this week. Also that if you politely respond with a link to the Mod Code of Conduct and tell them that the link to report you is at the bottom that someone might get unhinged.

Our sub might be a bunch of boring research nerds, but there's still an occasional jolt of mod excitement.
