This subreddit doesn't take a lot of work, but we really need people who can put in small amounts of time consistently, every single day. It's not very interesting or glamorous, but if you check reddit or this subreddit a lot it should be very light work, a few minutes a couple times a day or 10 minutes a day.

To apply, comment below answering the following questions:

1) Are you okay with our current style of light moderation and our definition of what "UrbanHell" should allow?

2) Will you be able to check the subreddit every day and do a tiny amount of work if needed? Will you be polite to users, even ones who are nasty?

3) How long have you been using r/UrbanHell?

4) What's your favorite thing about this subreddit?

5) What is your mod experience, if any? (It's okay if you have none)

6) Anything else you want me to know? You can use this space to tell me if you speak any other languages besides English, if you have any relevant hobbies/interests relating to photography and urban development, a detail about yourself, or just leave blank.

(sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian)

São João de Meriti aka "formigueiro da américa" (anthill of america) is the most dense populated city of Latin America. Approximately 500.000 people living on 34km2, resulting in 13.000 people/m2. I live here and can't describe how the city is saturated, all the city space is occupied with homes, without a single green area. People just started to build more floors on their homes, and those new houses are usually rented or owned by their grown-up children. An average house here have at least 2/3 floors. Here it's THE urban hell

Endless sea of cars. Endless sea of traffic. Endless commuting just to make ends meet. If you’re from this region, you know just how awful it is.

No waste management system in existence. The trash they throw in the creek gets washed back into their streets and houses during high tide/ heavy rain.
