[META] Moderator Applications - 2 open positions for a css/layout mod and a general mod
Author Summary
HyperAnthony is in META
Post Body

Hey everyone! The subreddit is picking up some more subscribers, and we're looking to bring a couple of new moderators aboard. You don't have to be a pro at virtual reality (whatever that entails) to apply -- only someone with some cursory interest in the topic. Our goal here is to promote interest and discussion in VR, and to have a good time doing it. With that said, here are the details on each position:

General Moderator

  • Will be responsible for standard mod duties -- checking the spam filter, managing reported posts, etc.
  • Please include your background with virtual reality. This could include a wide range of topics (What exactly is VR, after all?), so feel free to be creative with it.
  • Please include your background with internet community moderation.
  • Please include your background with subreddit moderation.

Design Moderator

  • Will be responsible for an eventual overhaul of the /r/virtualreality layout as discussed here. That discussion only had a few participants, and we will likely have another session of open feedback before we make a final decision on what the layout should entail.
  • Will be responsible for modernizing features such as user and post flair. We currently use a very gimped method in the CSS for "post flair" that should be replaced. The user flair is very inefficient and could stand to be replaced, also.
  • May participate as a standard moderator, if they're so inclined.
  • Please include reference to any prior work in subreddits or web design in your application.
  • Please include your background with internet community moderation.

Application Details

  • Submissions should be handled by messaging the mods. Please don't post them in this thread.
  • Submissions can be as detailed or as shallow as you like, outside of the requirements listed above. We essentially are taking applications to learn more about you, and to make sure that we're comfortable with you before bringing you aboard.
  • This thread is for any questions or comments regarding the moderator application process. You may also nominate someone here, but they will have to be aware of that and submit their own application to be considered.
  • Submissions will be open through December 4.
  • Submissions will be deliberated on by the current moderators.
  • We may select a moderator for either position before that date, should we find that applicant to be exceptional.
  • We may select multiple moderators for the general role, should we find those applicants to be exceptional.
