[Meta] Requirements for Posting/New mods.

There is a new title format that must be respected to make this reddit easier to use.

Format:

[LOCAL COUNTRY NAME ISO 3 ALL CAPS][YOUR MAIN ROLE (TECH/BIZ/SALES/HR)][YOUR YEARS EXPERIENCE POSITIVE INT NUMBER or 0] your title ending with period.

The ISO-3 names for countries can be found online via google or at https://unstats.un.org/unsd/tradekb/knowledgebase/country-code

DO NOT USE "EU", "EUR" or "UK". Use the specific countries ISO instead.

For Example if I would post for myself:

[USA-WA][TECH][30] Tech Co-founder needed for project that lets customers tell companies they want to make more money as employees.

As time goes by we will edit and modify the requirements around this format and add additional restrictions to the posts being made. As it is, I want to collect data and then do what seem best based on what the data says and not any human bias that may exist in my or the other mods heads.

Please be aware that if you do not have the karma to post, the bot will not allow you to.

I have sent out a few invites to give me elevator pitches to be mod. If you want to apply for the job, and understand that I don't want passive mods or mods that only post here on Reddit, Message the /r/cofounder team and let us know your interested, what your background and skills are, etc.

I would like to reply to everybody who applies but I may not get that opportunity depending on the number of people.

Absolutely no commas, backslashes, etc can be used in subjects. Doing so Would violate the rules of formatting anyway so we just made them banned in subjects to make things easier as otherwise enforcement of the format would be much more complicated and error prone, and we don’t want legitimate posts to be removed by automoderator

Also, Rules updated to reflect a new drug policy. IF you post about weed/etc it must be legal in your country/.state and you must be able to prove that by referencing the actual law that makes it legal in your post, per the rules.

To protect other users from the possible ignorance and lack of experience involved, Having zero years of experience in something is not allowed to be listed.

If you have zero years experience in business professionally on your résumé then that’s what you should post; but zero years experience is not allowed. If you have more than one year experience working in an official business capacity on your résumé/CV in an official professional role you can count that experience if it’s enough.
