Almost half of the moderator team at /r/Geography is (partially or fully) inactive, and due to a recent surgence of activity in the subreddit (which inevitably leads to more rule-violating comments), we need more users who can volunteer in moderating the community. Typical moderator duties include:

• frequently assessing the queue, and removing comments/posts which violate the rules, as well as approving thereof if they're inadvertently stuck in the filter
• answering user concerns/questions in the modmail
• tweaking and configuring the AutoModerator (please note that due to the technicality and complexity associated with this task, permissions relating to it will not be granted immediately but in the future as we observe your progress in the role)

If you'd like to apply, feel free to answer the following questions as a comment to this post (please do NOT send a modmail nor DM me directly or your application will be disregarded)

• How long have you been a contributor to /r/Geography? What is your favourite thing about the community?
• What are some tips you'd like to give us in improving the subreddit?
• Do you have prior moderator experience, or will this be your very first time moderating? If you do, feel free to list any significant subreddits you moderate.
• Do you think you can consistently moderate the subreddit and will it be in line with your schedule? Please note that we do require new mods to (at the very least) undertake moderator duties once a day. We recognize that a lot of users aren't on Reddit daily, and some may take hiatuses to curb their use of the platform. In cases like these, it's not a significant problem and we'll take care of the rest while you're temporarily away.

2-3 candidates will be selected for the role in 7-14 days after this post. You'll receive a PM offering you the position if you're elected.

Thank you!
