r/GIS Moderator Recruitment Form
The time has come to add 2 or 3 folks to the Mod Team at GIS. This is a fantastic community and technical area, and I do feel bad that r/GIS has lagged behind in features and structure. I'll take whatever portion of the blame is appropriate for that, but hopefully with a larger and more engaged team we can make some good changes.
If you think you're a fair, level-headed person who really cares about the community, I encourage you to fill out the recruitment form. I'll leave the form open for the remainder of August and come September 1st I'll begin reviewing applications and making sure that applicants have a solid history of positive engagement.
I created a new account when I was asked to become a Mod here so as to not be doxxed, and that was met with a healthy dose of trepidation. I hope the community can respect why some anonymity in a technical subreddit is a good thing, and I'll appreciate respect being given to those who join the Mod Team. Please apply with the account that you typically use to interact with r/GIS, but I understand that may not be the account that you choose to moderate under.
I'm sure there will be some questions regarding intent, and I'll do my best to respond to them in the comments as they come up. Thanks for your interest and commitment to making r/GIS a better place. Similarly, if you have thoughts on changes that you'd like to see, feel free to leave that in a comment here.
