**Hello Paranormal Enthusiasts.**We are pleased to announce that we are currently seeking an additional Moderator (Possibly 2 or 3) for the sub.We have had a noticeable increase in traffic, and with the new Reddit layout, we have our hands full.
What does a moderator do?
A moderator is just a regular redditor/user like you except they volunteer to perform a few humble duties within the community including helping answer questions. Moderators are required to actively browse the subreddit and/or telegram, and respond to reported threads, comments, and questions regarding the project, and removing those that break the subreddit/mail rules. Note that "actively" typically means for multiple hours a day. While we don't have any specific minimum activity requirements, we will not keep moderators around that do not have the time to contribute. That being said, most mod actions can be done via multitasking and do not always require your complete attention.
Moderators...
- are extremely familiar with the Subreddit Rules, Reddit's rules, reddiquette, and moddiquette.
- regularly check the front page of r/Paranormal and make sure all threads and comments are within the rules.
- regularly check the subreddit and/or mail and help answer questions users in the community may have.
- browse comments and remove ones that break the rules.
- respond to user inquiries about removals and decisions (subreddit).
- ensure that reported threads are responded to, keeping modqueue clear (subreddit).
- participate in mod discussions and contribute their thoughts and ideas.
- represent the best the community has to offer (Both on Telegram and the subreddit)
- generally work as a team, not as individuals.
- act and behave in a professional and mature manner.
Moderators do not...
- make unilateral decisions when it comes to removals and making policy changes.
- use the position as a platform for projecting your opinions, either by posting them in an official setting or removing things contrary to your beliefs.
- use the position for monetary gain.
- engage in any behavior that may otherwise break moddiquette.
- promote the spread of drama.
Who are we looking for?
We're looking for people who are...
- able to do all of the above:
- active, patient, helpful, and kind.

- able to help answer Paranormal and Posting-related questions in an accurate, professional way.
- attentive to detail.
- fluent in English and can speak their mind in an appropriate, comprehensive manner.
- experienced Redditors (a minimum of 2 years active status) and be a Paranormal subscriber.

After a certain amount of time, if we believe you would perform mod duties well, represent the community in a good fashion, and actively participate in the community and answer posting and paranormal -related questions in a proper way, you will be offered to officially join the mod team
