I realize this sub is basically dead. This sub needs mods to take on not only running it but bringing it back from the dead. Finding ways to promote it and get traffic and return it to its former glory!
More info: So the existing mods on this sub are either gone or spread too thin to adequately moderate this sub, so it needs some active members to take the job. Itâs pretty straightforward. It is mainly just removing occasional spam, answering modmail questions from users and fixing small occasional post errors, and removing rule breaking content. Itâs only a few minutes a day at most.
Modding is a rewarding experience and is fun. Helping to keep a community you enjoy running smoothly is fulfilling, and knowing youâre helping other people enjoy it as well is just awesome.
Previous mod experience not required. The rules are already laid out, so just understand those and the rest isnât hard to learn. Reddit even has a training site:
https://modeducation.reddithelp.com/
My only requirement is that you actually be active on an ongoing basis. Inactivity is why Iâm making this post to begin with. Itâs really a tiny amount of work so donât be intimidated BUT PLEASE if you apply make sure you will be available to check the sub regularly, check modmail once a day or so. It really isnât hard but donât apply it youâre just gonna disappear.
Just reply to this post to express interest and for added bonus list your favorite thing about this sub and a positive benefit youâve found here. I will review and add a few within maybe a week or two ish. If youâre selected Iâll notify you by Reddit pm.
Thank you for reading
Cut and pasted synopsis from Crikey because paywalled
âSaul was walking alongside his closest friend in Californiaâs Tahoe National Forest on a pleasant hike together when it happened. In a split second, his friend (whose name was not released) lost his footing and fell some 21 metres down a ridge. When the man came to a stop, heâd broken a hip and ribs. Neither of them had a phone. The man was able to limp his injured body up onto a rocky area, where they had set up camp, and call for help, with an anxious Saul alongside him. The outlook was grim â the area wasnât accessible by vehicles, so people would need to search for the pair on foot. The injured man pulled some camouflage tarp over himself, and, laying in a bed of dirt, waited in considerable pain. Saul, however, could not stay still. He knew something was seriously wrong with his friend â what, he didnât know. Thatâs when Saul heard something, several hundred metres away.
He dashed towards the noise coming from a nearby forest and came across people â volunteers with the Nevada County Sheriffâs Search and Rescue group. Excited, Saul told them to follow him in the best way he knew how. He jumped up and down on his four legs, spun around in circles chasing his tail, and looked back at them, as if to say: âWhat, youâve never seen a dog rescue his best friend before?â One volunteer was like, I think it wants us to follow it. They didnât put a whole lot of faith in the dog, but one volunteer said Saul had made eye contact with them and felt compelled to follow. Saul led them straight to his injured owner. The man was taken to hospital, but after asking for his Saul, was reunited with the heroic pooch. Saul was also pleased to receive the highest accolade a dog could get (in a dogâs opinion, anyway): a beef jerky stick.
Wishing you the determination and courage of Saul today, folks.â
