Hello!

We're looking to expand the mod team here and, with a change in Labour leader thought now is a fantastic time for some recruitment.

There are a few requirements:

• By convention be a member of the Labour Party

• Active member of the LabourUK community here on the Subreddit.

• We do quite a bit of mod organising via moderation channels on Discord so must be happy to use it.

• Has the temperament to moderate heated discussions and able to respond appropriately to nasty or aggressive challenges to moderation action.

• Accept that you will see a lot of crap. Possibly even the worst shit. By definition more of your time will be spent looking at contentious posts, you will also make decisions people will disagree with - you can very rarely be everyone's friend here.

• You will make a bad call at some point. Having the ability to turn around and put your hands up and reflect is real positive.

• It is expected you will conform to the existing moderating style, not "do your own thing" and you need to be a good "fit" in general.

Below are a set of questions for you to fill out and send to us via modmail. The more information you provide the better:

1. Why do you want to be a moderator on r/LabourUK

2. Are you a current Labour Party member?

3. Personal statement (~200 words): A few expanded words about yourself, your personality, and what makes you think you’re the right person to be a mod.

4. Are you willing to join, and be active on the Discord channel? (It's were we discuss and track moderation)

5. Do you have any other online social media presences (established)?

6. Are you active in any other communities, and what do you like about them?

7. What would you bring to the moderation team?

8. What changes would you like to see?

9. What do you think the subreddit has gotten wrong?

10. What activities do you undertake as part of the Labour Party?

Any questions ask here or send a modmail and we'll take a look at it.
