Hey everyone!

Just like the back of Grian's base, Mod Applications are open! Just like how the Hermits covered Doc’s perimeter, we’re looking to cover more timezones! How many more jokes can I fit in this intro? At least 12 bamboo’s worth!

Who We Need & Attributes You Should Have

• People from around the world, regardless of timezone.
• Fluent English speakers/writers. If English is your second language, consider whether you are able to read and understand a novel, write an essay, and hold a conversation without the use of a translation tool.
• Access to a computer is required. It is effectively impossible to moderate a subreddit of our size via mobile.
• Familiarity with the original Reddit layout ("Old Reddit") is helpful - you will be expected to use Old Reddit to moderate, but we can show you around during training.
• Prior moderation experience is preferred, but not required. However, you must be comfortable maintaining a civil conversation with people.
• Familiarity with Hermitcraft, its community, and this subreddit is a requirement.
• Other useful skills include: programming, graphic design, journalism, and event coordination.

The Job

• Expect to commit at least 10-15 hours per week. This can spike higher during major events, and it can drop much lower during slow periods. Please consider what your schedule is like both during the school year and during vacations. You will be able to complete other tasks while moderating during slow hours, so completing homework, listening to music or a podcast and other side activities are possible while on a moderation queue.
• Moderating /r/hermitcraftmemes is a very active role. We do not only respond to reports, but we also review every post that comes in via the unapproved posts queue, and every comment, all of which requires a lot of reading.
• We coordinate via Discord. You will need to join both our main Discord (if you haven’t already, join now if you apply so we can contact you if you’re successful!) and a private moderator Discord. There is no expectation to use voice chat, we coordinate exclusively over text.

The Fine Print

• You will not necessarily be able to communicate with the Hermits. We only reach out to some of them in case of emergencies.
• You will not be paid, as moderators are prohibited by Reddit’s User Agreement from accepting payment for the use of its tools.
• We will teach you how to use the tools if you've never moderated on Reddit before, or if you are new to the set of tools we use.
• If you apply for this role, we will review your Reddit history. Although you will most likely use a separate account for moderating, we will want to review your main account with your application to get an idea of what you’re like.
• We prefer to hire from within the Hermitcraft fan community. We don't care if you started watching in Season 1 or Season 10, but familiarity with the members and the lore is important.
• Thick skin is required. You will be insulted, attacked, and threatened. However, you will also occasionally have people say nice things to you and send you fanart.
• Every episode will be spoiled for you within minutes of its release.
• The fan community is incredibly diverse and has a wide range of ages, cultures, beliefs, disabilities, etc. You need to be comfortable interacting professionally with people from all backgrounds.

Moderation can be a fantastic experience if you’re willing to approach the role with enthusiasm. It encourages organisation and teamwork while helping the community to be a welcoming, enjoyable place for all who visit.

If you believe you meet all the requirements above and fully understand the job and all that it entails, we invite you to fill out the form linked below. If you apply, expect a response within roughly 3 weeks after the deadline via a DM on Discord & Reddit.
