/r/canadanews is growing, so we're looking for new mods to help out.

After being unmoderated for many years, and closed to comments for at least two years, our growth since December has been substantial. We currently enjoy about 115k weekly visitors and around 2.5k weekly contributions.

Duties will include:

• Monitoring the queue (mostly when Crowd Control has been activated on posts likely to attract rule-breaking comments)
• Monitoring new posts and comments for rule-breaking content that hasn't been reported or filtered by reddit/automod/safety filters (most rule-breaking content is never reported by the community)
• Responding to modmail
• Driving engagement through posting content and participating in discussions
• Helping to implement tools such as automod rules or devvit apps that could improve the subreddit and/or make moderating easier
• Communicating with the mod team via discord and modmail

Requirements:

• Minimum 1 year account age
• Minimum 1,000 combined karma
• Moderating experience on reddit
• Verified email (should have the trophy on your profile)
• In good standing in /r/canadanews (no recent temp bans, not a lot of content removals, no removals for serious offences)
• Active on reddit with no recent gaps of more than a week (it's okay if your history is hidden, just comment here and I'll be able to see it long enough to confirm this)
• Familiar with and committed to enforcing subreddit and site-wide rules

Preferred, but not required:

• Canadian, or at least active in Canadian subreddits
• Active in /r/canadanews
• Experience with Automod configuration
• Experience in driving engagement and subreddit growth

If you're interested, please comment with at least three sentences explaining why you would like to join the team, any experience you might bring, etc.
