Active solicitation of celebrities or high profile figures to do Ask Me Anything (AMAs) is an important aspect of our role as moderators. We actively reach out to these individuals, either directly or through their PR teams, to invite them to participate in our subreddit’s AMAs. This involves sending emails and coordinating with celebrities and their teams to facilitate the AMAs. We provide them with information on how the process works, educate them on what to expect, and assist them in operating the AMA effectively. While we prioritize their interaction with the community, we are still available to answer any questions they may have about the posting process, although response times may vary based on our workload.
In order to streamline the AMA scheduling process and provide a better user experience, we maintain a dedicated website. This website serves as a central hub for scheduling AMAs, where celebrities or high profile figures can pre-verify their identity and provide proof of their involvement or expertise in a particular field. Additionally, we use this platform to promote upcoming AMAs through various social media channels, ensuring that a wider audience can engage in the discussions.
To keep our users well-informed and up-to-date on upcoming AMAs, we maintain a sidebar calendar on our subreddit. This calendar displays the schedule of scheduled AMAs, along with reminders to ensure that users don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate or ask their questions. By providing this feature, we aim to enhance the engagement and excitement around these events within our community.
To further enhance the experience of our users and promote engagement with other related subreddits, we have developed sister subreddits. These sister subreddits are specifically categorized to allow for easy cross-posting and following of topics that are of interest to our community members. This enables users to explore various discussions and engage with a wider range of subjects that align with their interests.
Ensuring the authenticity and credibility of AMAs is of utmost importance to us. To maintain the integrity of these sessions, we have implemented a moderator confidential verification process for AMAs. This involves verifying the credentials and identity of the celebrities or high profile figures, ensuring that the information they provide during the AMA is accurate and genuine. This verification process helps to build trust and confidence within our community, allowing users to engage in meaningful discussions with a sense of security.
In addition to our active involvement in coordinating AMAs, we utilize bots to automate certain tasks. One such bot automatically flairs live posts, making it easier for users to identify and navigate to ongoing AMAs. This bot helps streamline the user experience, ensuring that relevant content is easily accessible and searchable within the subreddit.
Overall, our role as moderators extends beyond just facilitating AMAs. We actively solicit and engage with celebrities and high profile figures, maintain a dedicated website for scheduling, operate sister subreddits for easier cross-posting, verify the authenticity of AMAs, and utilize bots to automate certain tasks. These efforts aim to create a vibrant and authentic community where users can engage in meaningful discussions with influential individuals, fostering knowledge sharing and connection.
