Hey guys.

/r/philosophy is still a growing sub-reddit, and the team of moderators is beginning to feel the strain. Four of us just isn't enough for a sub-reddit of this size, so we've decided to put out a call for moderator applications.

As a moderator, your duties will be fairly simple; you will be expected to check the spam filter semi-frequently, ensure posts and comments are not being mislabeled as spam, and remove comments and posts that are either inappropriate or violate the rules of the sub-reddit. We may additionally be updating the sub-reddit's CSS and FAQ pages at some point, so helping out there would be appreciated.

If you would like to be a moderator, please make a TOP-LEVEL comment with responses to the following items:

• How much time per week do you spend on Reddit and/or /r/philosophy?
• What experience do you have of philosophy in general?
• What do you think about the current condition of the sub-reddit?
• Why do you think you can be an effective moderator?
• What changes, if any, would you like to implement?
• Do you bring any other skills or assets to the table?

If you would like to nominate another user, feel free to do so. Please do ask further questions of candidates in replies to their top level comment - candidates are encouraged to respond to these. If you find a candidate that you would like to see as a moderator, please upvote their top-level comment.

We will take all nominations into consideration when we decide who to add to the moderating team. The most upvoted individual will not necessarily become a moderator - we're using the public interview format mainly so we can get an idea of who the community supports.

The deadline for submission will be approximately a week from now, on the 2nd of February.
