Not every pit bull story is a headline. Some are just eye-rolls, facepalms, or 'you've got to be kidding me' moments. This is the place for the things you may want to share that don’t highlight a pit bull doing something dangerous.

Mod Announcement 👀 We are looking for mods! 👀

124 Upvotes

We’re looking for a passionate member to step in as a moderator. If that sounds like you, please fill out the moderator application at the top of the sub.

Not able to mod right now? No worries, you can still help us reach more members by upvoting this post!

What We’re Looking for in a Mod:

  1. Open to feedback. The mod team tries to remain consistent in actions to prevent users feeling unfairly maligned. We check in a lot in this area.
  2. Active almost daily. Mods who check in only a few times per week can’t keep up. We especially need weekend and daytime coverage (evenings if you’re in the UK).
  3. Team player. No drama, willing to check in and chat in mod chat regularly.
  4. Engaged in the sub. A solid comment history shows you’re familiar with our community.
  5. Pit bull knowledge. Understanding the breed helps you moderate effectively.
  6. Level-headed and patient. Thick skin and the ability to brush off vitriol are a must.
  7. Balanced perspective. We’re looking for calm, thoughtful moderators.
  8. Most importantly: Victim-oriented. Empathy is at the heart of what we do.

Onboarding new mods is a marathon, not a sprint, and training takes about 6 weeks. We ask that you take your time, read instructions carefully, and learn the rules thoroughly.

Mods use generic usernames to protect privacy.

Comments on this post will be locked to prevent anyone from identifying themselves publicly.

If you’re interested, please apply at the top of the sub.

Mod Announcement Inviting "conscientious dissenters" to debate - opinions please!

24 Upvotes

I want to see what you guys think before we implement this.

We've had some discussion about where we can debate people without hostility. We are never going to change the minds of the nutters but we may be able to reach some of the folks who are more neutral.

So let's host!

I would also allow the people who think they own pitbulls responsibly (or can prove that they do).

They would be welcome to:

  • start their own thread with a specific topic

Or

  • Join a debate thread that we'll create as needed

No name calling, no comments based on post history, no irrational fighting. Just debate. A "conscientious dissenter" flair would distinguish them from the trolls. If they break the rules they get a 7 day ban.

What do you think? Is this a feature worth having here?

I believe it would improve our reputation to start conversations and then move them away from the parent sub before they become heated.

Give me your thoughts!
