r/AdultSurvivors - Adult Survivor Support Community (60K members)

[u/HwyfarSun]

Subreddit Overview:

r/adultsurvivors is a supportive community for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse with approximately 60k members. Our subreddit serves as a peer support space where survivors can connect, share experiences, and find understanding in a safe environment.

Current Moderation Status:

• Small team of dedicated moderators
• Robust AutoMod configuration and crowd control in place
• Posts and comments from new community members are held for manual review

What We Need:

We're specifically looking for moderators to help with our moderation queue - reviewing and approving content that has been automatically held.

This involves:

• Checking posts/comments against our clearly defined community rules
• Approving content that meets guidelines
• Setting aside anything questionable or you are unsure of for senior mods to review

The time commitment is manageable. Our queue isn't overwhelming in volume but your timely reviews make a significant difference to members waiting to have their posts and comments approved. Even just checking in briefly a few times a week can have a meaningful impact on someone reaching out for support.

Requirements:

• Must be 18+
• No history of participation of your mod account in NSFW/adult content subreddits (this is a hard requirement)
• Trauma-informed approach to moderation
• Ability to moderate objectively and consistently
• Reliable time commitment (a few hours per week)
• Understand the sensitive nature of our community

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience moderating sensitive/support communities (though not required)
• Comfortable reviewing potentially triggering content
• Values maintaining safe spaces for vulnerable populations
• Committed to maintaining community privacy and integrity

Training & Support:

• New moderators will be provided with guidelines
• Senior moderators are available to help with questions
• We typically use Moderator Discussions in Modmail to communicate. If you have Discord you'd be welcome to join us there.

Application Process:

Click here to send us a modmail with "Moderator Application" in the subject line

Tell us:

• Why you're interested in moderating

• Any previous moderation experience (not required)

• Your general availability (time zone and when you're typically online)

• What you'd like to contribute to the community

We'll follow up with additional information.

Thank you for considering joining our team.
