Hello users of Hexbear while we are always accepting moderation applications I would like to begin another formal volunteer drive.

We are particularly looking for moderators for our main "High Activity" communities:

• chapotraphouse

• news

• slop

• memes

• technology

• games

• chat

• politics

• askchapo

• badposting

• movies

Top communities for the last 1 - 6 months

The answers may be as short or as long as you feel is adequate.
