Official Community Mod Election
The role

What does a
moderator do?

Mods keep r/MemeExchangeCommunism running. That means enforcing the rules, reviewing reports, keeping spam out, and making sure the community stays what it's supposed to be — a place where memes are free to post and share.

This isn't a power trip. It's a responsibility. You represent 36,900+ members who trusted the community's process to put you there.

All mods beyond the founding team are elected. u/Stunning-Host-5936 runs and independently audits every election. No appointments, no favouritism — the community votes and that's the result.

Day-to-day responsibilities
1

Review and action reports

Posts and comments flagged by members need a human decision. Remove, approve, or escalate to the team.

2

Enforce the sub rules

11 rules including zero tolerance on hate speech, doxxing, and death threats. Know them. Apply them consistently.

3

Keep spam and bots out

Repost farms, self-promo, currency farming — all covered by rules. MemeCoin's Obsidian anti-cheat helps, but human eyes catch the rest.

4

Collaborate with the team

Work alongside u/CertainYam8162, u/Stunning-Host-5936, u/Salt-Penguin, u/North_Potential_4713, and u/Some_Kinda_Username.

Requirements

What we're
looking for.

Hard requirements first, nice-to-haves second. If you meet the musts, the rest is a bonus.

Active Reddit account

Your account needs a real history. Brand-new accounts with no comment or post history won't be accepted.

Must have

Know the rules

All 11 community rules including the 3 amendments. You should be able to explain each one before you apply.

Must have

Consistent availability

You don't have to be online 24/7. But you need to check the sub regularly — at least a few times a week.

Must have

Previous mod experience

Moderated another sub before? That's a big plus. Not a deal-breaker if you haven't, but mention it in your application.

Nice to have

Familiarity with MemeCoin

Understanding how the currency system and Obsidian anti-cheat work helps — especially for spotting farming violations.

Nice to have

Belief in internet freedom

The sub was created because a community banned image replies. That principle still matters. You should agree with it.

Nice to have
Election history
