[Subreddit] We Are Now Accepting Moderator Applications.

Hello, everyone.

And welcome to the many new EFT players.

Thanks to the recent Twitch event and its success, there are a lot more eyes on Escape From Tarkov. This has led traffic on this sub to grow exponentially in the past month.

Even after the end of the event, we are in the top 50 most active subreddits site-wide.
Clearly we are a very active and passionate community (especially considering the disproportionate subscriber rank) that we mods are extremely proud to be a part of. However, the increase in activity has put quite a strain on the mod team and it's again time to bring some more aboard.

We especially need more EU/OCE guys. If you don't physically live in those areas, but you work nights or are otherwise consistently active during the prime time in those parts of the world, please let us know in your application.

For anyone interested, please read the rest of this post in its entirety for a rundown on how we plan on recruiting.

Process:

When we recruit new mods, we go through 3 'phases' to ensure we're making the right decisions, as each mod is a representation of the entire subreddit team.

First, we have an initial round of applicants fill out a questionnaire to gather basic information.
After we trim the applicants down to a few strong candidates that fit what we're looking for, there will be a more moderation-focused questionnaire sent out that will ask how, if they were to be a mod, each applicant would handle some posts we've seen in the past.
Finally, after the list is shortened further, the remaining candidates will enter a period as a probationary moderator. After this period is over, we'll decide who will continue as a big boy mod all growed up.

Requirements:

Without meeting these, we appreciate your interest, but your application will not be considered:

Active on Reddit (we'd prefer to have a smaller amount of active mods over a large amount of inactive mods)
Active on Discord (we use Discord for coordination and staff discussions)
Over the age of 18
A reddit account at least 6 months old
A good standing in this community

Preferences:

These will not make or break your application, but will definitely help:

Familiar with extensions like RES/Toolbox
Previous experience moderating
Experience with CSS

Once you've applied, send us a modmail with the subject reading 'Application Submitted' from the Reddit account that you're applying from. (This is to ensure that no one is using your username to submit a fake application.)

If you're interested, fill out this form. You will need to sign into a Google account to fill out the form*.
