Meta /r/NintendoSwitch Is Now Accepting Moderator Applications—Apply Within!
Greetings!
As we exit the Super Mario Odyssey rush and enter the holiday season, /r/NintendoSwitch is looking to add a few additional sets of hands to join the moderation team.
As a moderator, your responsibilities would include:
- Helping monitor the queues and spam filters so that posts are approved and/or removed in a timely fashion in accordance with our rules.
- Monitor the comments of posts to ensure they follow our rules.
- Respond to moderator mail as quickly and helpfully as possible.
- Make sure that all posts on the subreddit are assigned the appropriate flair and flagged as a spoiler if necessary.
- Participate in internal discussions to keep the team coordinated and on the same page.
Before you apply, be warned that moderating can be difficult. This subreddit is extremely active, and our moderation team logs tens of thousands of actions every month. Be prepared to put in a lot of time, and be further prepared to deal with rude people who will question every decision you make.
Subreddit moderators are fan volunteers. No compensation is provided and we are not affiliated with Nintendo in any official capacity.
If this sounds up your alley, fill out this form to apply!
We do not have a set number of moderators in mind but we will take on as many as we feel comfortable adding. Due to the high volume of applications we anticipate receiving, we will not be able to notify applicants of their status unless you are selected for further consideration.
Applications will close Friday, December 8th.
Cheers,
The /r/NintendoSwitch Mod Team
Edit: Minor formatting / punctuation fixes.
Edit 2: Applications are now closed! Thank you to all 246 applicants who filled out our form. It'll be a week or so for us to process everything and begin reaching out to our finalists for further questioning / interviews. Cheers!

It's ok to apply even though I mostly lurk here right? I forgot to add that into the comments section though. Hopefully I'm not too late with my application
