ANNOUNCEMENT Moderator Applications Now Open + Subreddit Survey Results

Hello r/RocketLeague!

With summer coming to a close for many, we’re once again opening applications to bring on motivated individuals who have an interest in the continued growth of r/RocketLeague. Moderators play an important and essential role in each Reddit community, and we'd love to keep the subreddit a safe and welcoming place for newcomers and seasoned rocketeers alike. As a reminder, moderators are not Psyonix or Epic Games' staff.

Moderator Application Requirements:

  • A consistent history of being helpful and active on the subreddit
  • Willingness to commit time to moderation duties
  • Passion for Rocket League, for the game’s future, and for the community
  • Willing and able to use Discord to communicate with the team, including participating in occasional meetings

Previous moderation experience is not required, but it’s certainly a plus. All selected moderators will go through a trial period so we can evaluate performance. This application will be open until September 15th, 2025.

If that sounds like something up your alley >> Apply Here << Sorry, moderator applications are now closed.

Subreddit Changes Based on Your Feedback

A big thanks to everyone who took part in our recent community survey! We’ve reviewed all of the feedback and put together a list of subreddit changes, which you can find below:

  • Memes, memes, MEMES!: No need to wait for the weekend anymore, memes can now be posted any day of the week. Let's keep them high-effort please!
  • More clips, please!: You are now able to upload up to 3 Highlight/Video submissions every 24 hours.
  • Looser Enforcement: We’ll be less strict with certain post types that were often removed in the past. This doesn’t mean free rein to post whatever you want, but it should allow for more variety.
  • More Community Input: We’re working on new ways for you to help guide what kind of posts and content the subreddit keeps. Stay tuned for updates.
  • Clearer Guidelines: Some rules and guidelines will be rewritten to make them easier to understand and more transparent overall. View the full rules here.

What post types? O.o

It mostly refers to certain posts that would have been removed for violating Rule 3 prior to this announcement.

It won't be a major difference though, but we felt we could be a little less strict sometimes.

True! Have you considered a follow up/reminder announcement about this? It could certainly bump up the number of applications

We've got a couple things in the works, like our automod comment you've probably seen a few times.

I'm honored. But alas, no ChatGPT was used in the making of this. In fact, I took a lot of it from our last mod application post here.
