How do you go about getting people from Google or different OEMs to do AMAs?

u/Greypo May 23 '15 edited May 23 '15

A surprising amount of them actually contact us asking to do an AMA!

Other than that, just as r/IAmA does, we ask for a form of contact in the Request an AMA form. This helps.

EDIT: Also, as nty said, we have people who specifically approach people of interest to ask them to do AMA's. :)

How much time does moderating the subreddit take out of a typical day?

u/LocutusOfBorges May 23 '15

Depends, again. At the very least, twenty minutes- but on heavier days it can spiral into an hour and a half or more.

This is a hard one to measure because there are so many of us and we don't have one of those start-stop-start timers.

I personally probably spend about an hour, almost all of which is removing submissions that break Rule 2.

How hard is it to determine if a user is being too toxic (rule 9) in regards to their fanboyism? I've seen a few comments around that are made by very devoted fans that seem to straddle the line between passionate and abusive. Do you ever take into account their posting history on r/Android, or just the face value of their comments in context?

Additionally, what is your process in dealing (or not dealing) with "trolls"?

How do you stand and use modmail? It's the most confusing structure/layout-wise communication tool I've ever tried. I'm not a mod on r/Android, of course, just a related subreddit.

This thread is not what I thought it would be, considering how serious and information oriented this sub is
