after today I have decided that we need a larger mod team. Please leave applications in the comments. Same rules as last time. Thank you.

I think you should slow down and wait a few days.

Edit: I’ve read some post history and see you started talking about the need for mods a month ago.

I read this post as opportunistic, but I can also empathize that you probably feel the desparation for moderation more than I can feel it.

Yeah the need for more moderators has been an ongoing thing for months, and the past few days our workload has like quadrupled and now that everyone’s pissed at us it’s even worse.

I hope you find and appoint a few excellent new mods so that you and Ada can get that weight off of your shoulders.

We have a whole team at this point there’s 5 people other than me and ada and it’s still not enough. Worse still anything they do I’m accountable for so I have to vet them THROUGHLY

I’m happy to apply if it means I can ban you

You’re welcome to apply, but as I check every application with the pre-existing mod team, unlikely to be accepted.
Still, if you really want to apply be my guest! please link any alternative social medias you may have so I can check if you fit what we’re looking for.

Can mods ban other mods? Is there a hierarchy system like reddit where older mods can ban newer mods?

That looks like a link to a post about the canopener bridge, which I assume was not what you intended.

Was something wrong with my application last time? I had the top voted comment out of the applications so it can’t have been that bad, was it?

Just checked your comment history, as well as the post. I can’t find your original application? If you don’t want to do a whole write-up just send me a link to an alternate social (twitter, whatever) and I’ll make the judgment based off your message history
