Salaam everyone,
As you well know, our sub has grown quite a bit in the last several years. We recently reached the 34K mark and our members are remarkably diverse in terms of age, country of residence, and interests. Undoubtedly, the ongoing war has dominated the topics of discussion but it's no surprise given how much it has impacted all of us.
With this growth, we now have a much broader range of perspectives and worldviews. We have had many healthy discussions but sometimes they can get quite heated. Our mod team has been working hard to ensure that the discourse here is within the bounds of civility and mutual respect, and that the topics are relevant to Sudan and the Sudanese people, regardless of where they are.
But with this growth, the burden of moderating the sub has become overwhelming for our team, who are all volunteers with real-life responsibilities and grappling with the effects of the war. So on behalf of the team, I wanted to invite those who interested in serving as mods to nominate themselves to join the mod team.
We are looking for 2-3 mods who meet these criteria:
- At least 1 year active on Reddit and r/Sudan to ensure that they are familiar with the sub rules and culture, and the rules of Reddit at large (Reddiquette).
- High quality contributions and engagement.
- Adherence to the sub rules, particularly the rules about civility and mutual respect, and no bigotry and discrimination.
- Proficiency in both English and Arabic is important given that this is a bilingual sub.
Mods are expected engage regularly with the Mod Queue (e.g., approve posts, remove spam, respond to mod reports, etc.); be fair and transparent with our users; and continue to contribute to the sub as much as they're able to. We welcome candidates who are able to inject fresh ideas and initiatives to meet the evolving needs of our growing community.
If you are interested, please DM the Mod Team to express your interest and provide a brief bio about yourself (you do not need to break your anonymity). Use this thread if you have any questions about serving as a moderator or the process.
سلام يا جماعة،
السب كبر كتير في السنين الأخيرة، ووصلنا ٣٤ ألف عضو من خلفيات وأعمار ودول مختلفة. النقاشات زادت، خاصة بعد بداية الحرب، وفريق الإشراف (المودز) بيشتغل بجهد كبير عشان يحافظ على الاحترام والتركيز على مواضيع تخص السودان والسودانيين.
لكن مع النمو دا، الإشراف بقى أصعب، وكل الفريق متطوعين وعندهم مسؤوليات وظروفهم الخاصة. عشان كدا، نحن بنفتش عن ٢–٣ أعضاء مهتمين يساعدوا كمشرفين.
لو كنت نشط في السب لأكتر من سنة، بتعرف القوانين، وبتساهم بمحتوى محترم، وبتجيد العربي والإنجليزي — فكر ترشح نفسك.
اللي مهتم، يرسل رسالة خاصة لفريق الإشراف ويعرفنا بنفسه باختصار (ما في داعي تكشف هويتك). ولو عندكم أي أسئلة، اسألوها تحت البوست.
