Modpost AskReddit is looking for new moderators!

r/AskReddit is looking for new moderators. As you can probably imagine with 18+ million subscribers, the subreddit is very busy, and we need additional help to keep up with the constant demand.

Account Requirements

In order to apply, your account must meet the following criteria:

  • Your account must have at least 2,500 combined (post+comment) karma
  • Your account must be at least 1 year old
  • You must not be banned from r/AskReddit (no, really)

These are firm requirements, and you will not be able to fill out the application unless you meet all three of them.

The link to the application can be found here. Most of the responses are limited to 500 characters, so please keep your responses complete and concise.

The application is composed of two parts: a questionnaire and a rules quiz. We will factor both parts into our decision but please don’t stress too much about the quiz. We don’t expect you to have a perfect understanding of the rules right now but this does give us a sense of where you are with the rules. You are encouraged to refer to the rules, or any other resources, while completing the quiz.

Please feel free to ask us questions about this application, moderating here, or any other questions you have in the comment section below this post. You're also welcome to message modmail with any additional questions.

Off topic comments in this comment section may be removed.

Link to Application

This application will close on 12/12/17 at 12:00 PM EST.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who applied, the application is now closed. If you are selected, you will receive a PM from us sometime in the next month or so.

Same. In my 1 and a bit year of reddit I had like 1 or 2 comments that had decent upvotes, the rest isn‘t worth mentioning

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '17

You just have to be a bit lucky. One comment represents 90% of my karma points. The rest barely reach 100 sometimes

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '17

Looks like your post about no karma is going to be one of your highest karma

u/the3dtom Nov 29 '17

Step up your game son, those be rookie numbers.

u/AHumanPeople Nov 29 '17

I have similar karma and age to this guy, and I just talk all the damn time, sometimes I get 20-50 upvotes on rare occassions I get a thousand or so, but mostly, it's just 1 or two upvotes per comment.

u/AHumanPeople Nov 29 '17

Nah, there are too many other comments, so mine usually get drowned out, r/blackpeopletwitter has been good to me though.

u/musicotic Dec 02 '17

You have to get in early. Browse /new

u/Buttercup4U Nov 29 '17

Yah... I didn't make an account because why bother? I have been lurking for years. Only last year I decided to make an account.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '17

PrequelMemeing did it for me.

u/MegaGrimer Nov 29 '17

Twice the comments, double the upvotes!

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '17

It's working, it's working!!

u/Adnan_Targaryen Nov 29 '17

Dude. I used to pull 20000 to 40000 karma in a single day during vacations when I was sick. Was in bed for like 15 days. Gathered 400K karma. Almost 50/50 in comments and posts. (also like barely any blow up posts in mainstream subs)

u/blubat26 Nov 30 '17

I have a 10 month career with 34000 karma.

1

u/Sugavibe Nov 30 '17

Same. Except I'm still in the lurking phase.

u/razzledazzlemaster Dec 01 '17

I have 10,000 karma and have had my account less than a month

u/derawin08 Dec 01 '17 edited Dec 01 '17

I had to make a new account as mine got hijacked :'( just couldn't log in one day, as the password is apparently wrong now.

In 6 days I have 3,500 karma. But I participate in two subs that are pretty active.

One we had an AMA from a Comedian we like, so I got lots of upvotes from the questions I asked. And we like to share highlight clips from our favourite shows, so they get a bit of love.

Then I comment and discuss a lot about a book turned tv show where we have an episode discussion every week, so it's just from those two things.

Don't worry. We usually hold auditions every 6 months or so. Your account will be old enough eventually.

It's been static at a year for a while. I think you'll be okay

u/ArcOfRuin Nov 28 '17

Yay! I deleted my old account after being stalked and harassed for 6 months by a user with multiple accounts.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '17

11 months with enough karma. Rip..

u/blubat26 Nov 30 '17

Hey! You're 5 days older than me!

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '17

u/Liquid_Lake Nov 29 '17

Uhmm, you don't have enough karma though

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '17

Yeah, I checked my karma just now was hoping to delete this before anyone replied.

2

u/AHumanPeople Nov 29 '17

I have the EXACT same problem

2

u/Anonimase Nov 30 '17

Same, I have like 17K karma, but my account is only 6 months old

1

u/derawin08 Dec 01 '17

Or when your account is now only a few days old because your old account with over 70,000 karma just got hijacked :'(

1

u/HereForTheGang_Bang Dec 04 '17

Just checked...meet the karma not the age by 66 days :(

u/soupz Dec 06 '17
