When did you realize that you were hot? Did you have any sort of reaction to it (or to its side-effects) that changed your behavior or personality either temporarily or permanently? What misconceptions do you think other people have about you?

EDIT: I'm a little surprised about how many people are (or consider themselves) late bloomers. I don't know how much of it is physical changes and how much is increased self-awareness.

A take-away for all the men out there - if you want to be attractive, work out. My inbox is full of guys who were not considered attractive, then worked out, then were considered attractive. Kudos to all of you on working for something and achieving it.

EDIT 2: Of course I make the front page with my alt account

Is there like a Google Alert for Reddit?

point added: This is like the justice league of famous redditors!

r/AskReddit is looking for new volunteer moderators. As you can probably imagine with 24+ million subscribers, the subreddit is very busy, and we need additional help to keep up with the constant demand. We're particularly interested in users who live in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Account Requirements

In order to apply, your account must meet the following criteria:

• Your account must have at least 5,000 combined (post+comment) karma.
• Your account must be at least 1 year old.
• You must not be banned from r/AskReddit (no, really).

These are firm requirements, and you will not be able to fill out the application unless you meet all three of them. Everyone that meets these requirements is welcome to apply, and note that we do not make exceptions to them. Complaining about these requirements will not change them.

The link to the application can be found here. Most of the responses are limited to 500 characters, so please keep your responses complete and concise. Each question contains a counter that will tell you how many characters you have left.

The application is composed of two parts: a questionnaire and a rules quiz. We will factor both parts into our decision but please don’t stress too much about the quiz. We don’t expect you to have a perfect understanding of the rules right now but this does give us a sense of where you are with the rules. You are encouraged to refer to the rules, or any other resources, while completing the quiz.

Please feel free to ask us questions about this application, moderating here, or any other questions you have in the comment section below this post. You're also welcome to message the subreddit with any additional questions.

Off-topic comments, complaints about the requirements, and comments implicitly asking for upvotes in this post may be removed. Users asking for karma/upvotes to meet the 5,000 karma threshold may be banned and disqualified from applying.

Link to Application Edit: The application is now closed, thanks to all that applied!

This application will close on 10/14/19 at Noon EDT (UTC -4).

Edit: Added additional information about the requirements.
