Hello world,
due to the large volume of recent troll posts and comments, as well as the absence of community moderators, we have decided to lock down this community until we have found some new moderators.
If you wish to apply as a moderator, you’ll need to have an actively used Lemmy account, and you will need to use a Lemmy.World account for moderation, as you will otherwise not reliably receive reports in the community.
If you’d like to help with moderation, but you don’t currently have a Lemmy.World account, you’re welcome to apply anyway, as long as you’re willing to create a Lemmy.World account to take care of moderation and reviewing reports if we decide to select you as moderator.
We also ask that you provide a short description of how you want to see the community in the future. This does not have to be in detail, but it’d still be great if you could describe e.g. rule changes you’d be looking at. Please also take a look at our Community Moderation Guidelines and keep in mind that the Lemmy.World ToS apply to this community. You can apply by using one of the following options:

  • leave a comment here saying that you’d be willing to moderate
  • send us an email to info @ our instance domain
  • send me a pm on Lemmy with your application

If you’re not looking to apply as a moderator for this community, you might still be able to help shape this community by describing how you would imagine this community in the future. You can also take a look at https://lemmy.world/post/12568610, which already has several comments discussing the current state of this community.

    Maybe learn to talk like you are the ones who need help ? Modding is not a holy position its a thankless job, you are not doing them a favor by making them a mod they are doing you a favor. So atleast be polite and not act like your giving a job offer or something . Also i am not talking about rookie i personnely think he is a good guy/gal i was just talking about the mod culture in general the mod needed posts all come like this and i think mods are treated more shitty then they are on reddit . I don’t know why people still mod especially on lemmy were they are near slaves to admins imagine using your time for that.

    PS: (not a mod and never want to be unless its something i think is i really really wanna support)

      Ok, here is your Lemmy Silver for your good effort on your thankless job Lemmy Silver

      Note: We try to help every Moderator, if he just comes up to us and asks. We try to communicate a lot with mods and users. But we are not perfect. And we just wanted to be this time more… to the point and letting everyone know, as a mod you still need to follow LW’s TOS and Mod Guideline. As we got some… not good moderators for the some of our last “Looking for moderators” post in a another community.

      What’s wrong with this post? Asking for some details about someone that wants to mod one of the bigger communities is a good idea, right?

                I hope yours get better, you seem to be having a bad time. Not everyone is out to get you, you know.

                  I too wish you would have one so you still aren’t trying to fight with internet randos for human interaction . Maybe get an AI girlfriend that things seem to be built for people like you.

                    Sigh, I’m not the one fighting, also wasn’t the one starting any sort of argument. You’re being belligerent from the moment you started answering on this post, thinking you can interpret people wills and intents with absolute.

                    Go take a breather, realize that not everyone is out to get you, and that you don’t have to turn every disagreement into a fight.

                Oh yes you are!

                as some of us have lives.

                Oh no you dont!

                Panto season is normally around christmas, but i can see the appeal in spring.
