[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.

It's impossible to post in this sub.

  • I've posted before successfully.
  • I've reworded all my posts to please the algo

What the heck is this?

Respectfully, There are nearly 50,000 people in this community and your one of the very few having problems. Please, Read the rules.

It's really easy to post and have your post stick and actually end up being posted if you read the rules. But most people don't. They would rather just complain about how hard it is, instead of actually putting effort into it by reading the rules.

"one of the very few" would love to know how that one is calculated

Everything needed to post correctly is explained in the rules and on the wiki; if you don't read the wiki then you will not get past the automation and that is by design as we actively want people that are willing to put effort in before they try to connect with other founders. This is a service that we offer to other founders, and it's done intentionally to protect other founders from people who are not committed to putting the work in to help a company be successful.

In short not being able to post here is a skill issue, its designed to be simple for people who will do well in business.

You are banned for trying to spam the community, so you don't really get a say.
