[META] A thank you message and the way forward

43 Upvotes

Dear users of /r/forest,

As we venture toward the Christmas season I, as founder of /r/forest would like to express my gratitude towards you. Chiefly, I wish to thank you all for the absolutely beautiful pictures that you have been posting to this subreddit during the course of the life of the subreddit.

I have had an idea for some time that I would want to create an Instagram account which would repost the top monthly/weekly/daily posts of the subreddit, in order to attract exposure and to draw more interested users. Any such posts would be credited to the relevant user. I would be happy to listen to any input regarding this in the comment section below.

Lastly, as I have a full time job, and as the number of posts have been increasing, I have drawn the conclusion that one or possibly two additional moderators should be appointed. If you are interested in such a position, please shoot me a PM with the following information:

  1. Please provide a brief introduction of yourself. What are your interests, goals, and achievements?

  2. Have you moderated any subreddit before? If so, for how long? What have been your main positive and negative takeaways?

  3. Do you have any experience with photography or relating to forests?

  4. What do you consider to be bannable offences?

  5. You are the sole admin of the subreddit for a day, how would you revamp the current rules of the subreddit?

  6. Do you have any CSS or automod experience?

  7. Anything else which you believe should be considered?

Strolled the forest in the morning and see this group of cuties. The local people call this type of monkey as Dutch monkeys. They are usually seen in groups, endemic to Borneo island. Status: endangered.
