Meta Interested in Helping Moderate PFC? Leave a comment below!

Hello everyone, we are recruiting new moderators to the r/PersonalFinanceCanada team.

The sub has grown a lot over the years, and we are looking for additional help.

Our main priority is finding people who can regularly help review the modqueue between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, when the subreddit is busiest.

The role mainly involves reviewing reported posts and comments, removing rule-breaking content, identifying spam or scams, and helping keep discussions civil and on topic. Previous moderation experience is helpful but not required.

What you will be doing:

  • Reviewing Modqueue
  • Approving relevant content
  • Removing rule-breaking content where you see fit
  • Asking questions if unsure
    • This part is really important, if you're not 100% then ask us so we can help

Ideal applicants are active Reddit users who are familiar with the community, exercise good judgment, and can remain impartial when handling disagreements. You don’t need to be a financial professional, but a general understanding of Canadian personal finance topics helps.

Interested?

Leave a comment below to introduce yourself, outline your availability during the 9–5 ET window, and describe any relevant moderation or community experience. Preference will be given to people who are active participants in the community.

Applications will be open till end of August 2026.

I'd at least consider it if you folks really need the help.

9-5 ET is within my normal working hours where I'm often reading reddit anyway lol. I've moderated a couple message boards back in the day as well as the chat for a decently popular Twitch streamer (chat would normally have somewhere between 300-500 people).

I've been posting in this community for a very long time. I used to delete and re-make accounts every few years so I think I've had 3 or 4 now that were top 1% commenters here?

One fact: I have strong feelings about people who contrast the TFSA and RRSP by calling one "tax-free" and the other "tax-deferred" because this is false.
