View submission: Friendly reminder to sub owners seeking mods
Recently I posted an application for r/triviaoftheday and other subs associated with it on this sub. r/triviaoftheday has around 3k subscribers and it is a sub where trivia questions are posted daily and people are able to submit answers. I do not need people to remove spam, clear reports, etc. - I needed people to submit questions, grade the trivia answers, etc., as I clearly specified in my post. Does this fall under:
Asking for something way outside the norm should be reserved for subs with the traffic to justify it, and should be clearly stated in your post.
The sub receives at the most ~60-70 answers on the most active days with the easiest questions (as you can imagine, easier questions get more answers). Grading answers is a time consuming process as we have to manually reply to each correct answer and update the wiki for each person to give them points. I am wondering if that is enough traffic to justify "asking for something way outside the norm" and whether I am even allowed to use this sub at all to ask for that.
I created a small controversy when I originally posted it due to using the term "staff" instead of "moderator" to refer to the people because, from experience, I feel if I call it "moderator" then people will come looking to remove posts, etc. This is another reason I am asking.

I don't really see why mods are expected to grade answers or submit content. If the model of your sub leans this heavily on mods doing unusually time consuming tasks, maybe rethinking how you do things is smart.
r/Subredditoftheday is a big sub and they have a very hard time retaining mods because the work is hard and there is a deadline.
I would recommend finding people from the sub's community who are invested in the vision of the sub. People here are mostly wanting a diverse mod list to have a little variety in their reddit experience. Not many want to spend all day on one sub, especially a small one
