# About the Role

The Worldbuilding Network moderation team manages not just this subreddit but also [r/worldjerking](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldjerking), [r/nsfwworldbuilding](https://www.reddit.com/r/nsfwworldbuilding), and our twin Discord servers.

The [r/worldbuilding](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding) moderators perform a variety of duties, including:

* Removing off-topic posts and spam from the subreddits. * Removing comments and posts that break our subreddit rules. * Adding flairs and OC-tagging to posts. * Investigating and resolving reports from users and our automated moderation tools. * Responding to modmail regarding user concerns and questions in a timely and professional manner. * Developing policies and rules that keep the subreddit running smoothly, efficiently, and at the quality our users have come to expect. * Working with Reddit Administration to ensure that the subreddit is in compliance with Reddit’s site-wide rules. * Managing and moderating our r/worldbuilding and r/worldjerking Discord servers. * Managing activities, such as competitions and spotlights, across our platforms. * Ensuring a consistent tone and moderation across the entire worldbuilding network. * Creating and maintaining automated moderation tools, messaging, and bots to streamline the moderator workflow. * Developing CSS code and other graphical improvements for the subreddit. * Whatever else happens to get thrown at us.

# Requirements

You do not need to have any previous moderation experience to apply, though any previous leadership or moderation experience will help. Here's a list of our current requirements for incoming mods. If you do not meet these requirements, your application will likely be rejected unless you stand out in some exceptional way.

* You must have an active Reddit account that is at least 6 months old. * You must be willing and able to use Discord, as we use our Discord to coordinate moderator activities across the network. * You must be a user in good standing on [r/worldbuilding](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding). Previous warnings or bans, even if not active, may be considered detrimental or disqualifying. * You must be able to demonstrate you have at least one speculative fiction project at a modest level of development. * You must complete the Google application at the top of this post. The more in-depth you can make your responses to it, the better!

# OF SPECIAL NOTE:

We're especially in need of moderators from non-American time zones, as we lost half our non-American moderators (either due to resigning or relocating!) about two years ago and still haven’t plugged that gap. So we're a bit short-handed when it comes to European, African, Asian, and Oceanian moderators. So, if you're from one of these regions (or have unusual waking hours!) and are on the fence about applying, we strongly encourage you to toss your hat in!
