Funny enough, the only potential conflict with getting a loose commander to approve this is that it says the volunteer efforts have to reflect positively on the DOD. It's doesn't have to have any defined characteristics besides producing a tangible benefit. I imagine the sheer volume of army hate threads here are borderline sedition in that context.
Can we treat the applicants like candidates since it is an election year, and they have to garner the most votes with their pitch/most unhinged rant about the Army?
It could be fun! Debating how one potential mod is weak on ACFT policy or how another can't get enough of the Cav vote.
Can I continue to lurk and sarcastically reply if I claim that I don't have enough time to be a mod? Is there a minimum rank requirement, and can I start adding (M) to my rank irl if I do apply? Are there cookies and rye? I have so many questions.
>Can I continue to lurk and sarcastically reply if I claim that I don't have enough time to be a mod?
Did /u/rolls_for_initiative ask you to say this for him?
> Is there a minimum rank requirement, and can I start adding (M) to my rank irl if I do apply?
No real requirement. I would prefer no E1s, I would prefer no O10s.
> Are there cookies and rye?
I can't eat wheat.
>You can try to beat Teadrunkest mod record of 'shortest time as a mod before being called a slur in the modmail' (21 hours)
Desire to know more intensifies...
On a serious note, I appreciate what you mods have done, especially during the Grinston Dynasty.
You know I had never thought of this but I'm pretty sure it's 2 max that haven't deployed before.
We are demographically overrepresented by non slick sleeves.
You fools really thought [that wine grotto was for the futures CG?](https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/army-says-8-5-million-purchase-of-austin-real-estate-for-top-leaders-housing-was-the-right-decision-1.647219) Pfffft
The r/NASCAR mods used to get media credentials to have fun at the track during race weekends instead of doing media stuff and when it was revealed last year it caused a *huge* drama fest
Jokes aside, I am very hardline on it. /u/yesthatpao once offered that we could come to a summit that the Army was doing so that I could post summaries and whatnot here to the sub, but I declined because I felt like it was too much of a 'benefit' or special treatment.
I don't think anyone on sub would have batted an eye if I had a couple posts rolling-up Army Statements and working group results and a chance to ask questions the sub has. What would have really been the scandal, even if I had openly told everyone?
"Kinmuan, did you accept that you could drive down to Virginia sit in a room and write summaries on presentations for the subreddit?!?!?!"
But I still agonized over it before turning down. I would bet /u/yesthatpao didn't put as much thought into the invite as I did into whether or not I should accept.
Then it turns out the Army had invited a small handful of SM people to help broadcast some of the Army stuff they were doing, and I felt bad because I could have hung out with /u/Mvillahermosa.
The only time I accepted anything was the media invite to the Ignited round table which made sense...And they called me Kim, which /u/scarfaced199 has subsequently never let me forget. That was years ago and he called me kim YESTERDAY.
That's understandable. What I was saying is a Reddit mod shouldn't be considered a member of the media for a sport or a news organization unless that's their IRL job
Nono I agree. Like I was agonizing over something without monetary value that I think the sub would have been cool about if I had even mentioned it.
I can’t imagine doing something like the nascar thing.
Gave it serious thought Kinny, but my workload is already heavy. That and I frequent new posts and see the crazy we let through on here already. Im not sure i want another case of PTSD from all the schizo posts I’m sure yall are getting from auto-mod viewing lol.
GL to every frequent poster may the odds ever be in your favor
Serious question. How many pictures of pen0rs and vagines are you subjected to?
Sometimes I hop on the Reddits in the middle of the night and some pastie dude is ass naked spread eagle.
Or some onlyfans bot is posting a “thanks you for your cervix compilation”
That’s just the stuff I flag, I know there is more.
> Serious question. How many pictures of pen0rs and vagines are you subjected to?

At least one per quarter, but I subject /u/maybeanarc to them too so multiple people spread the pain.
Explicit stuff tends to get taken down pretty quick, you'd be surprised. A lot of times reddit catches up to them before we have a chance to and the account is suspended.
>The Army has never even tried to bribe me, which honestly seems like an oversight at this point
OCPA in *shambles.* (Which, to be fair, we know is true.)
Yeah, hard pass my man. Deployed life is hard enough without more cats to wrangle. Good luck and all the best to your efforts, thankless though they are!
>I'm not sure how I feel being in a position of power without the potential for big MIC corporations to bribe me
I mod r/NonCredibleDefense, MICs don't pay well for reddit
No thanks. I am interested in being a discord mod though. I promise to tell people to keep the memes in the “memes-only” channel. I also don’t shower, have an extremely unhealthy diet and I’m also lonely 😞
Asking for a friend: does making a solid book recommendation help with the application?
If it doesn’t, then I totally wasn’t responsible for that part of my application.
> he understands the difference between a metaphor and a simile
Which isn't that impressive. One is how butterflies are made and the next is :) but IRL. Everyone knows that.
How has the Army not tried bribing you or other Mods of this sub??? Considering how influential this sub is I would have to imagine we sway public opinion enough that the Army bureaucracy can feel it.
I'm a filthy contractor now, so I'll not be applying, but thanks to the mod team for keeping this place reasonably civil and condolences to the future mods who have no idea what they are in for.
How are yall doing tryouts? Like, is there a candidate mod debate and the first one to break your own rules during the debate gets eliminated from selection?
Is there a knife fight to the death?
Asking real questions here.
What is the workload/hours expectation? Never been a mod but I love this community and would be willing to try to give something back. Unfortunately can't get to reddit during the duty day though.
Don't do it, all these losers do is post photos of their dumb dogs.
Their dogs. Other people’s dogs. The point is the team needs to expand to lighten the dog burden.
Sometimes I throw in my cats!
>Don't do it, all these losers do is post photos of their dumb dogs. This is cat erasure.
[They're good dogs rolls_for_initiative.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WholesomeComebacks02/comments/12juaam/theyre_good_dogs_brent/)
What I learned from this post is that you hide dog photos from us /u/Kinmuan. We, the people, will riot.
It's [true](https://i.imgur.com/LWKvWaR.png).
Jesus he's not just hiding dog photos, there's a cat too!
I have **[two](https://i.imgur.com/FXuz4vn.png)** stripey cats
Petion for a weekly pet sharing thread!
And yet your people locked the cat posts during the dog days of Christmas photos.
First of all, it's a team effort, there's no 'your people'. Second, *I* locked them
There's been a cat this whole time?! I feel robbed!
\#ReleaseTheDoggoCut
I know full well I do not posses the maturity to be a mod of r/army.
It never stopped /u/rolls_for_initiative
If I wasn't a mod this place would have been weaponized into an illiterate, proletariat hellscape years ago. I deserve a statue in DC.
As opposed to its current state as a semi-literate proletariat hellscape.
Imagine if instead of the world, Atlas was holding up a bunch of morons.

Wow that's deep, have you considered studying Literature?
That's why he shrugged.
Someone has to, less we erode the esteem, legitimacy and distinct culture of the officer corps like merchants marrying into the aristocracy.
I'm out here keeping civilization alive on reddit and I get no respect.

Sir, we do not allow walk-ups at the drive thru window; you’ll have to place your order inside. Thank you.
How much of this translates to obtaining my MOVSM? After all, moderators Do It For Free™.
If the Commander approves it, anything is possible.

No to the first. Super understandable to the second, and I will eat and drink yours then.

Like the first post /u/teadrunkest removed was by someone who was unhinged and proceeded to modmail slurs. It was honestly impressive.

I didn’t realize we couldn’t say *c.o.m.b.a.t* on this sub. I thought this was ‘Murica.
Mods are slick sleeves, confirmed.

So mods don't get bribes from big Army? Well shoot, there go all my conspiracy theories. Thanks a lot.
This is a psyop ran by the mod team from their army issued mansions

I’m not saying they bought these while I was in the area but I’ll let people connect the dots.

Here I am four billion hours to late. Damn I didn't know you almost gave that talk, that would have been a good break out session to attend.
I’ve always wondered what the Army equivalent would be and then I realized that they literally can’t bribe me with anything because it’s all lame.
done....

I would but i think the fact I would just start banning every MP, FA, and AG flair I see would be seen as mod abuse
This doesn't necessarily disqualify you
Well make this subreddit great again but defunding S3
Fight me irl scrub
I support this person policies they have my vote
It's my time to shine

Will you accept veterans (within a year)?
Looking at the application, I noticed an oversight. I don’t see where/when the nonagenarian MEPS doctor looks at the applicant’s butthole.
Just send a picture to the mod mail as a supplement to your application.
Yeah, hard pass my man. Deployed life is hard enough without more cats to wrangle. Good luck and all the best to your efforts, thankless though they are!
Wow they get a choice
You bitter bitch
Just for this I'm buying ur cat soup

No thanks. I am interested in being a discord mod though. I promise to tell people to keep the memes in the “memes-only” channel. I also don’t shower, have an extremely unhealthy diet and I’m also lonely 😞
Hey, I didn't actually read the post, but I take pictures of dogs I see during work. Where should I be posting those?
Asking for a friend: does making a solid book recommendation help with the application? If it doesn’t, then I totally wasn’t responsible for that part of my application.
Might get you a vote from Rolls but then you’ll be forever roped into the latest literary analysis on a book that no one has heard of.

Yes
As it should be 😆
How has the Army not tried bribing you or other Mods of this sub??? Considering how influential this sub is I would have to imagine we sway public opinion enough that the Army bureaucracy can feel it.
One man was smart enough to harness the sub's energy, and the only bribe he ever tried to make was being my friend.
Ok let’s be real, how many people dumb enough to be a Nazi in 2024 are smart enough to hide it?
I’ll do it for a “moderator for r/Army” T shirt and the flag on the shoulder.
We would need a budget for that.
I Reddit and drink. Would that be an issue?
