Hello Everyone -

I am looking for some additional mods for this community. Over the last year or so I’ve taken on moderation for a lot of cat communities in an effort to fight the spam and bot problem cat subs are hit with. I’ve stabilized most of these communities and am looking for more partners in each to help with the modding load and ensure the safety of our community culture.

I am asking that new mods be willing to join a private Discord server that I’ve created for the subs I mod. You will be given specific roles and access to the channels dedicated to the sub yous you mod in the group. This is to help with onboarding, training, and general communication.

Some basic tenants of all communities I mod that I expect new mods to be in alignment on:

• These subs are Original Content Only and AI Free, meaning all content posted must be created by the person posting and must not be AI.
• We have a zero tolerance for participation from spam and bot accounts - this includes NSFW promotion or heavy adult content accounts.
• Disagreements must be civil no matter who is “in the right”; harassment of community members or mods is not tolerated.
• Submitted content must be relevant. We do not do “one time exceptions” for content a mod happens to like/want; that is a slippery slope. Consistent enforcement matters for a healthy community.  

Some specifics about modding in this community:

• We have a karma and age filter in the Automod on this sub which means reviewing content from new accounts.

What you’ll be spending most of your time doing in this community:

• Reviewing posts from new/low karma users - doing reverse image searches to check for OC content and doing account checks for bot red flags. If you aren't familiar with this I will teach you how to do it.

Before applying to mod:

• Please take some time to read the sub rules and familiarize yourself with them and ensure you feel comfortable enforcing these rules.
• Consider how much time you’re able and willing to mod. I don’t expect highly active mods, I can continue taking on the bulk. But if you go “inactive” you will be removed during my quarterly mod maintenance days.

Apply by modmailing me here to start a conversation. You do not need to have prior modding experience but if you don’t or you have little we expect you to be curious about learning new things. You are also welcome to check out other subs I mod and apply to multiples!
