0. Hi everyone:

So there was a post 3 days ago by u/ord_average_guy regarding whether or not we in the r/ASMRScriptHaven sub, should have new moderators.

Link to the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASMRScriptHaven/comments/11of4lq/moderators_needed_or_not/

1. Regarding the current situation for the moderators of this sub:

There are two official mods: u/TheLunaRose and u/ImRoxBox.

u/TheLunaRose's last post seems to have been 7 months ago, and their last interaction with this sub was 2 years ago. As for u/ImRoxBox, their last interaction with this sub was also 2 years ago.No one has been able to get into contact with either of them. I think it would then be accurate to say that these two mods are inactive.

​

2. Why this is a concern:

This is an issue since we sometimes get posts which are not appropriate for this sub. For example below are links to posts under the discussion flair, which are not really appropriate for this sub or the flairs being used.

(Just a note, I don't in any way think any of these people had intentions of violating rules. I think maybe they figured that there video was appropriate for this sub)

This one below appears to be a sort of mukbang (asmr involving eating), but without any sort of script offer from this sub.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASMRScriptHaven/comments/102vjk5/fredi_feasts_on_slap_your_momma_shrimp_and_dinner/

This one is a regular asmr video, not an audio roleplay, again without a script offer relevant to this sub.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASMRScriptHaven/comments/zp7gsa/asmr_soap_cutting_relaxing_video/

And this one is a sort of reaction video to other asmr videos.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASMRScriptHaven/comments/z9a9dp/watching_asmr_for_the_first_time/

I don't plan on going into every rule that should exist in the sub, just to point out that there are posts which probably shouldn't belong in this sub like the soap cutting, and the reaction video. There are also sometimes post which are appropriate, but are put under the wrong flair, such as a completed audio being put under completed script. And also people posting audio roleplay videos without any relevant script offer.

I would however like to add in here, as mention by u/marlowe_caard in the other post, that we generally don't get much spam or unrelated posts here. And I've never really noticed much either, so even without the intervention of the mods, this sub seems to function fairly well.

But even considering that, we need to make sure that posts which contain content that the reddit managers really don't like, are not allowed to remain.

Furthermore, we also shouldn't let this sub end up classified as unmoderated by the reddit admins, since that could result in this sub being taken down.

​

3. So now that I've finally got through that. Getting New mods:

We need new mods. There are two people so far that have applied for the position through r/redditrequest.

u/marlowe_caard, and u/NaughtPlusZero.

Both of them have the requirements to apply as mod (500 karma, active in the community they applying to moderate). However, u/NaughtPlusZero has also been mod for approx 6 months for r/ASMR_Directory, so he might be more likely to approve him as a mod since the reddit admins do consider previous mod experience when appointing mods. But either of them being approved as mod is all that really matters.

If anyone has any concerns regarding this, please post it in the comments.

Now, regarding who will actually being doing moderation for r/ASMRScriptHaven.

Moderation for this sub is probably not as intensive as other subs, as I already mentioned before, the amount of inappropriate posts is rather uncommon, and the rules are generally followed. But moderation will still take up time, and there is also the concern of new rules (which I'll get to later).

I don't know how much either u/marlowe_caard or u/NaughtPlusZero will take part in moderation, since we are mostly just hoping they get approved. Therefore, depending on how much either of them want or are able to take part in moderation, more people will be added as mods for this sub.

u/marlowe_caard and/or u/NaughtPlusZero will add new mods. There probably doesn't need to be that many mods. r/pillowtalkaudio has 4, r/rgonewildaudio has 7 I think, but they also are much bigger. So maybe 3 or 4 mods.

For the people who apply as mods. They will need to have some time available to engage in moderating activities. In addition, if they are unable to in the future, they need to be able to let the sub know they will not be able to continue moderating, and someone else will need to fill the position.

People who have been around in r/ASMRScriptHaven for longer would be preferable, mostly because they would likely be familiar with this sub. And maybe more vested interest in this sub.

So, for anyone who wants to be a moderator for this sub, please comment down below that you would like to be considered for a moderator position for r/ASMRScriptHaven**. I will keep a list of those who have nominated themselves below.**

Edit:

The list of potential mods is a list of people who have volunteered themselves to be moderators for this sub. It does not mean that a person from this list will be a mod. But when/if we are able to add new moderators, the mods will be picked from this list of people.
