Become a C-box Moderator

Do you want to help out at Absit Omen?

Absit Omen periodically recruit c-box moderators to help maintain a positive, supportive c-box atmosphere. We love our guest-friendly c-box, but it isn't always possible for a Curator to be present. You the members have asked for it and we are happy to deliver!

Do you already hang out in the c-box from time to time? Are you friendly and comfortable saying 'no' if necessary? Do you want to be a part of growing and supporting AO's mission of community and positivity? Then you should apply to be a C-box Mod!

What we need in a c-box moderator

  • Comfortable saying 'no' when it comes to unacceptable topics or language in the c-box, even to your friends
  • Understand the c-box rules, and general AO culture of support, positivity, and respect.
  • A calm, friendly c-box demeanor.

To apply, just fill out the following form and PM it to Kit, with the subject line CBox Moderators.
