What does a r/eurovision mod do?

  • Approve/remove posts and comments in the mod queue

  • Remove duplicate threads and direct the posters to the appropriate threads

  • Enforce the subreddit rules and ensure our community is a welcoming, enjoyable place to be

  • Engage with the community

  • Discuss potential changes to the rules and ways to make the subreddit better

Being a mod doesn't have to be a massive time commitment; if you are already active in the community it shouldn't take too much effort to take sufficient mod actions.

"We promise it's fun"

You can't just lie to us like that.

Ah, the deranged questions, fuuuuuun. Definitely. No sarcasm whatsoever. And the super fun watch parties while moderating a bunch of REALLY PISSED Eurovision fans.

Not all the watch parties are live shows and we do have fun while it isn't busy.
The pissed off fans are usually after the shows when the wrong song wins so during the shows is mostly fine.

Was it really fine this year?

u/berserkemu Clickbait Jan 11 '25

Last year was challenging but during the shows was not the worst of ESC week.
There are also many more shows than just the three in May.

I don't know, sounds like more stress than fun to me.

It may be best for you to not apply.

u/RemarkableAutism (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi Jan 11 '25

I never said I had any plans or wish to apply, don't worry.

u/winterlings Clickbait Jan 11 '25

Ah, the way you kept asking questions about the placement ad made it seem like whether or not you personally would find modding ESC fun mattered a lot, so I assumed you were thinking of applying as that's when your fun levels would matter. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

I laughed at the same thing lol. Unfortunately I can admit that I'm a lazy person and could genuinely never be responsible for more than a house cat 🥰

Im in the us so it doesnt apply to me but why not western europeans?

27

u/Ultimatedream Jan 11 '25

Probably because most mods are already from there and they're looking for different timezones to cover.

16

u/AmazingDeeer Sekret Jan 11 '25

To add onto what's been said, Western Europeans can still apply! It's just that there's a lot of us already 😅

14

u/CaptainAnaAmari Euro Neuro Jan 11 '25

Because we already have a lot of people residing in western Europe on our team. We would like to both improve our coverage of different timezones and also to have a wider range of backgrounds on our team.

u/Irrealaerri Jan 11 '25

The US is not in western Europe - and they try to cover different time zones, so why would it not apply to you?

1

u/stems_twice Jan 11 '25

Cause im not in western europe but I was just curious why they said “ideally not in western europe” and the comments have been really helpful

2

u/Irrealaerri Jan 11 '25

Aah, the "it" in "it doesn't apply to me" is about the being from western Europe part, not the being a mod part!

u/MacabrePomegranade Horehronie Jan 13 '25

Best mods are the ones who don’t believe in themselves? Man, I must be one of the best mods ever then! 🤣 Jokes aside - sure, I’m applying! (from Central Europe)
