[MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] - Moderator changes and possible CSS changes - help wanted!




The offseason is a time of roster moves and behind the scenes work for the Celtics but also for us here at /r/bostonceltics. Today we're announcing a change to our moderation team and also putting out a call for a new mod to join us for a special project.




Thanks to /u/dombili


For over two year /u/dombili has been the workhorse of our mod team. He's spent countless hours monitoring new submissions, cleaning out the spam filter and generally keeping the quality of content very high on our sub. This offseason he's decided to step down to focus on other priorities.


When he joined the mod team we had 1,200 subscribers. Due in no small part to his effort we now have over 7,500 and are well on our way to 10,000 by the end of the season. Please take this opportunity to thank /u/dombili for all his hard work and dedication to building this sub into what it is today.




Welcome /u/shnts07


As one mod leaves, another joins. We're excited to welcome /u/shnts07 to our team. We take pride in having a mod team made up of active members of the community and in only seven month /u/shnts07 has posted nearly 100 times to our sub with over 75 self-posts. He's provided more original content than anyone and has written more words than many full-time bloggers.


With our ever growing subscriber base we're lucky to have someone so dedicated to the community joining us. Please welcome /u/shnts07 to the moderation team!




Volunteers Wanted: A Mod Position is Open for a CSS/Design Specialist


It's been two seasons since major changes have been made to the design of /r/bostonceltics and we think it's time for a significant update. Reddit implemented CSS3 this year and with that, many new features have been unlocked. While our sub was one of the nicest looking ones when our last redesign was completed it has now been passed by more modern designs like /r/heat and /r/chicagobulls.


While our current mod team does have some CSS skills we are not experts. For that reason we are looking at the possibility of having someone join us as a "CSS Mod" to lead a complete re-design.


In the interest of transparency we feel it's important to be up-front about the position. This would be an unpaid job, as all mod spots are. We are hoping to find an active member of the community with high-level CSS and/or design skills willing to commit a significant amount of time to collaborating with the existing mod team to complete this redesign, ideally before the start of the season. If you then wish to stay on as a "regular mod" that would be great but is not a requirement and is not something you have to decide on now.


If you're interested in this position please contact us via this link. In your message please answer the following questions and also provide examples of your previous CSS/Design work, if possible.




  1. Approximately how long have you been on Reddit and how long have you been a subscriber to /r/bostonceltics?




  2. Are you currently a moderator of any other subreddits? If so, are any of them default subs?




  3. Have you ever lead or been a major part of writing the CSS for a subreddit? If so, which one(s)?




  4. Do you have experience working with CSS or in web design outside of Reddit? If so, please give examples if possible.




  5. Do you have any experience working in graphic design?




  6. If you were chosen to be our CSS Mod would you prefer to work independently on the design and implementation or as a group with the other mods?




  7. At the end of the design process would you be interested in staying on as a long-term member of the mod team? If so, what time zone do you live in?




  8. Should we trade Rondo?!
