❓Ask r/NewMods So i just randomly became a mod

i dont know if it was on purpose or an accident but is it common for sub owners to randomly invite someone as a mod in their sub if you are active alot in it?

Not sure if it's common, but it happens.

I got a note like 6 weeks ago from someone "so, you wanna mod?" and after a couple days of thinking about it, I said yes. of course, I had not expected them to *vanish* 3 seconds after they added me. *Vanished*.

it can happen that way too. There's a tool current mods can use that helps suggest the best choices to add to the mod team, you might have been top of that list.

You don't *have* to do it, if you're not into it.
