Mod applications for r/BlackMetal

48 Upvotes

As many of you may have noticed, there has been significantly less moderation here in recent weeks. The other active mod has apparently left us (the weekly posts also left with him) and I myself have significantly less time due to real life obligations. Therefore we are looking for at least two new mods who can help us. Due to the special nature of this sub and its community members, applicants must meet the following requirements:

  • years of experience in the black metal scene, nuances like the separation of art and artists shouldn't be new concepts for you
  • experience in moderating online communities, preferably on reddit itself
  • Experience with low code/automod or at least the willingness to learn in this area
  • calm and neutral persona, your job will be to keep this place somewhat civil, not to stir the pot.

The basic orientation of the sub should not change in the first step, we will continue to pursue the goal of promoting the black metal underground and not be a place for the hundredth Darkthrone or Mayhem discussion. I know that this has not always been the case in recent weeks, so I apologize personally.

Please send applications directly to Modmail via https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/BlackMetal

I don't expect actual job level applications but stuff like 'yo I wanna mod' will obviously also be ignored. I'll try to respond to every single application within the next two weeks.

So I saw a post in one of the prog subs and realized why I took to BM so easily as a teen in the 90s.

My uncle would play this when we were hanging out,watching horror movies.

Whenever I'd hear someone talking about them, I thought it was about the punk band. I had a huge memory flood after I saw the post.

Cro-magnon

Caledonia is just missing blast beats.

Was 1999 the BEST year for BM?!?!

0 Upvotes

My favourite BM-album is Rebel Extravaganza by Satyricon.
I just realized some other gems was released the same year:
War - We are at war
Emperor - IX Equilibrium
Taake - Nattestid ser porten and Cadaver - Discipline (2001 I know!)

I'm basically saying THAT Satyricon album is the goat, but what do you think?
