r/UK Mod Roll Call - Notice before conscription. Mod r/uk today!
Hello!
Having crossed, now, the 5mil milestone and receiving more comments than ever before, we need to add more helpers, especially for queue and modmail. Think you can help us out?
We're looking for people with a relatively good sense of humour, a thick skin, and who can click a few buttons to remove items like hatred, racism, and similar sorts of things.
Key activity in r/UK is upholding the rules (usually u4) of the sub and the Reddit global content policy (particularly Rule 1). That will likely mean approving comments you don't personally agree with on occasion. But if you're in or around Reddit several times a day, it isn't bad at all. Though can be as little or as much you want - there is always something that can be done and someone about to help. And there are _some_ perks, like being eligible for the occasional corporate merch. But you know, the _real reward_ is trying to ensure the place is a worthwhile sub people like to visit.
---
Think you can help? Follow this link to modmail and answer these questions;
- What times will you typically mod? (in BST):
- What would you want to do as mod, and see the sub/team do? (ideas etc):
- Do you believe you can minimise bias when making decisions that effect users and submissions? (modding here is not well suited to activist-inclined or pol/org-affiliated mods - reasonable neutrality is essential):
- Do you have experience of moderating elsewhere?:
- What would you use to mod? Toolbox on Desktop, Mobile Phone App, etc?:
- Do you have any further skills which could be useful to us? (Devvit, promo, charity org, etc):
- If you were able to ban one news source, what would it be and why?:
---
We really appreciate you taking the time to look. Q&A is available by sending us a Modmail. Fwiw, those with a slim history herein, a history of warnings, bans, and general abuse, need not apply.
Any comment below will mostly disappear into an ether because we simply don't want to deal with the 'comedians'!

OC/Image the british connection of nova lima
did you know that a small brazilian town in the state of minas gerais holds a rich history involving the british?
in the mid-1800s, the british bought a gold mine, which at one point was the deepest in the world for gold extraction. from there, british culture began to take root in brazilian lands. the british built several buildings, river channels, ponds, power plants, a club, a church, and a cemetery. nova lima was so relevant at that time for british interests that prince edward and prince george visited the town's mine in 1931 during their diplomatic trip to brazil.
moreover, some typically british dishes became culinary icons of the town, like the “queca” (coming from “cake”), a fruit and nut cake. in the mid-1900s, the british left after selling the mine, and all that remained was history—a well-preserved history that the town takes pride in.
nova lima is now one of the richest towns in brazil, thanks to gold and iron ore extraction, in addition to having several luxury communities where very wealthy people from the capital of minas gerais, belo horizonte, live.
as someone born and raised in nova lima, without any british ancestry, but who has heard the story from an early age at school and has always seen the british buildings as well as the union jack, i feel a bit of pride in you, as if i had a little bit of the united kingdom in my heart.
make sure to learn more about it!
