Flairs, posters, lurkers, lend me your ears! I come to praise our NEW MOD!

by hannahstohelit

She has already peered beyond the veil and trawled the deep dank underbelly of this subreddit- and I assure you, it's deep and it's dank!- and lived to tell the tale (which you should definitely read, if you haven't already). Now, we're officially welcoming her to the Dark Side™ .

All hail the inimitable, indomitable and incredible u/SarahAGilbert- may the explorer and explicator of the mysterious ways of r/AskHistorians become its most gloried wielder of the modhammer!

Though we cannot pay her in mere gold and rubies, we can offer her the heady, intoxicating rush of banning neo-Nazis, purging threads of low-effort content, and addressing the question "why don't you have an 'Answered' tag?"

And so - as she studied, so now shall she be studied in turn, as she leaves the safe cocoon of the ivory tower and descends into the very depths of the internet. All hail u/SarahAGilbert - scholar, scientist, moderator.

Pay your fealty below!

Welcome to our newest slave unpaid intern moderator! I hope you're ready for the massive influx of wealth karma interactions with neo-Nazis you'll be receiving.
