Edit 03/12 — I'm still looking for more moderators! The only prerequisite is to be a contributor to this community that's willing to help out. Former mod experience is great but not necessary. Shoot me a DM if you're interested!

Original Post:

Hello, fearless freaks!

This is admittedly long overdue. Sometime last year, I became the only moderator for this subreddit. Initially I was more than happy to rise to the occasion—but lately I've been trying to scale back the amount of time I spend on reddit as a whole, and I feel like I've been neglecting my duties here. With this community continuing to get bigger, it's frankly a bad idea to give this much responsibility and power to one person, and I'd hate for something to happen to this community because one user goes inactive.

So it's time to bring on some new moderators! I'm looking for:

• Active members of the community, preferably with a long-term posting history of meaningful contributions

• A demonstrated respect for rules, other users, and open discussions across reddit

• Any experience moderating other subreddits is definitely a plus

• I'd love to hear what you believe are the main opportunities for growth and improvement on the subreddit, or any ideas you'd like to implement

• Anyone that may be interested in tacklng an update to the subreddit theme. The old.reddit CSS theme hasn't been updated since the Oczy Mlody era and is overdue for a refresh.

• You gotta love the flaming lips obviously!! What's your history with the band, or what is your favorite project/song/album by them

Basically, I just want this community to continue to be run by flaming lips fans, and remain a positive place for open discussion. Please leave me a comment down below or PM me if it's something you're interested in! I'd love to get this all sorted out before February.
