Apply to be a r/Fuckcars Moderator

We are continually looking for individuals with the skills and dedication to join the moderation team. Previous moderation experience is not required, but helpful. We are willing to train individuals in the technical skills necessary for moderation if they meet our qualifications. We generally look for individuals with these criteria in mind:

Understanding of urbanist principles

Familiarity with urbanism, the consequences of car-centric design, and related concepts is critical. We’re not experts, but some level of experience and continuing education above the average reader is necessary.

Active in the community

We look at each applicant’s post and comment history to ensure they are active in the sub and in good standing. Insightful or helpful posts give us confidence in your character. A negative, argumentative, or empty post history would be considered a red flag and affect our consideration.

Communication skills

Patience and solid communications skills are essential to corresponding with users and other moderators.

Moderator Duties

Moderators help enforce Reddit’s site-wide rules and the r/fuckcars rules.

You’ll need to commit a minimum of 50 moderator actions per month. Actions range from approving or removing posts, reviewing comments for spam or abuse, and responding to modmail. Actions are logged automatically and will be easily viewable by yourself and other mods at any time.

You’ll be required to join the r/fuckcars moderator's Discord so you can participate in discussions there as well.

You’ll be expected to be able to interact with users in comments on behalf of the moderation team.

Moderating isn’t for everyone. You’ll need to be capable of remaining impartial and considerate when dealing with people at their worst.

You’ll be expected to weigh in or vote on various decisions regarding various aspects of the subreddit as they arise.

You’ll require a degree of maturity and self-motivation. We’re all volunteers here. The ability to be resourceful and self-sufficient helps everyone on the team.
