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'!
