The three tiers of Moderator are still in effect.

What this job entails

It's hard to point to any one particular thing because there are multiple ways to be a good moderator. The main things generally are to be in line with the charter and help others grow their accounts and have be in the spirit of the mission of this place. Minimum duties include deescalating encounters that are bound to happen in the PALnet discord channel, an ability to spread the values of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty, and having something that you're really passionate about to spread the mission in your own unique way or under the wing of the folks that have been here a while.

You generally need patience, calmness, good health, good mental health, an ability to moderate conflict, to not be a source of conflict, a passion for Steemit, and a sense of purpose helping others.

What to do

If you're willing to accept these duties and embody the mission we're looking for you to join. The application process is to write a post and share a link to the post in the comments below (hopefully with a short 1-liner). Readers should feel free to chime in some support.

We'll narrow the posts down to a small handful of people and then ask people to interview at a moderator meeting, which is a 1-2 hr experience once a week. We'll then make our decision collectively and let folks know and try to provide helpful feedback for future rounds of searching for mods.

So, if you're interested, figure out what your service project would be, talk about your ability to deescalate situations and not be a source of destructive conflict, talk about how you can support the mission and the values, and be patient with us as we work through some really excellent people.
