Our community traffic is spiking , and our automated filters and comment queues are growing rapidly. We are looking for focused, dependable volunteers to join our moderation team and help us maintain a clean, educational, and scientifically focused feed.

Our Core Mission:

• Clear the backlog: Review automated comment flags, low-karma queues, and reported items daily
• Enforce Rule 4 strictly: Remove valuation, appraisal, market cost, and rarity discussions promptly and neutrally.
• Filter out clutter: Delete low-effort jokes (or any unhelpful joke), memes, and non-identification comments to keep correct scientific answers visible.

What we are looking for (Please read before applying):

We need active queue clearers, not passive badge holders. Please only apply if you meet the following criteria:

• Ready to work daily: You are willing to log in regularly to review reported/flagged/mod-queued content. This takes less than a few minutes a day from your phone.
• Thick-skinned and decisive: You can enforce guidelines firmly without getting dragged into endless debates or passive-aggressive arguments with users.
• Committed to the science: you genuinely care about keeping this sub centered on objective mineral identification and geology, rather than market collectability, memes, or a mod badge simply to wear.

Note: All new moderators will start with a brief, structured trial period to ensure a good fit for our active and heavy workload.

How to apply:

Before you click the application link below, you must thoroughly read our community sidebar and rules page. Please also review Reddit's Moderator Code of Conduct. We have implemented automated gatekeeping measures to weed out low-effort or automated submissions. If you do not follow the exact instructions hidden within our documentation, your application will be instantly and permanently deleted without review.

If you are ready to help us clean up the queue and keep the focus on rock identification, please apply using the link below:

Thanks for your help keeping our subreddit clean and running smoothly. Rock on!

Hi all, hope you are all well. I am looking to become a moderator, though I have no experience before. I want SFW subs only please. As you can see in my profile, I have been on Reddit a long time, and have thousands of contributions myself, and would really like the opportunity to moderate a subreddit and gain some experience.

A little about my interests, I am particularly fond of music (I have a masters degree in it lol) so I could be useful for anything about that. On top of that, I am quite interested in sociology and philosophy as well, or anything to do with books (particularly non-fiction, though I do like fiction too). Overall, I am happy to moderate anything, especially as I have no prior experience. Just nothing NSFW please.

Thank you!

Been on reddit for years, and have experience modding and managing communities. This includes gaming communities, websites, discord, and probaly more i can't remember.

Hit me up if you need help

Ciao everyone!

I have recently created the subreddit r/ItalyTravelAdvice, which is growing very fast, 6200 users for the moment, and is easily adding ~1000 users month.
I’m looking for a moderator, or even more than one, that could help moderate this community, but more than that somebody who has a good knowledge about the subject of the community and that helps to boost the growth of it.

Grazie!!

Hello there

I’m Serafin, 21 years old and I’m living in Switzerland (so I’m currently in the UTC+2 timezone).

I’m a referee for the Swiss football association as well as moderator for the subs r/nextlevel & the German sub r/AberBitteLaminiert (I also moderate 2 discord servers and a Streamer on twitch) so I have experience in being a mod.

I would love to moderate another medium or big sub, so I can grow as a mod
