If a moderator is not active or banned, you can request to be a mod for that community. Just check community rules before posting.

I decided not to remove the old mod. What do you think about it? I believe I shouldn’t do this, but I would still like to hear your opinion. Is it unfair to remove that mod if inactive for a week?

Also; @[email protected] is banned and s/he has so many communities. I can appoint if there are some volunteers.

note: bottomless and lesbians communities are reserved for now.

    One of the biggest issues that happened on Reddit was various folks trying to build fiefdoms and squatting on community/subreddit names without any real interest(s) in building up and nurturing the comms.
    Glad you/admins here seem to be aware of this potential issue and are taking active action.

      I’m trying to escape from responsibility as much as I can lol :) But that’s good point too.

      We are currently on a whole new platform and people want to contribute to it. I don’t want to discourage anyone as much as possible.

        Totally understand the need for flexibilty while building this platform up. It took a group of us mods on Reddit over 2+ years to finally get admins to pay some attention to these squatters (one guy had over 1000+ subreddits at one point, and was using an automated script to create subs every 5 minutes… as well as alt accounts that do the same…

          I’m afraid of that too. But we are not on Reddit scale and only NSFW oriented. So I think we can handle these kind of spams hopefully.

    Commenting in here to help where I can. I was going to create these communities if they weren’t anyway, so you can mod me on:

    So far modding hasn’t been too difficult because the post count is low. If I find it becomes difficult, I’ll appoint new mods to these communities.

    Edit: I also wanted to add a thank you for posting this. I asked about this specific situation and didn’t get a response. Thanks. :)

    I created a community but then deleted it. I’ve been unable to remake it since.

        It was ebonygirls I ended up recreating it as ebony_girls.

          It’s better IMO. Also the original community is still there.

            Oh that interesting. I didn’t see it in the search but does work with direct address.

              Can you select both Undetermined and English on your user settings? It probably this stupid problem again.

                I think I had both selected already. And while I can see the original community with direct address browser address bar it does say “deleted by creator”. Although I think it gives me the option to restore if I’m signed in. Since I’m already doing the new one I don’t want to have yet another abandoned community on here.

            That user hasn’t logged in in 9 days. Thought this post was actually prompted by the discussion about that

    Is there a way to request communities to be created/moderated? There’s a few I’d like to see lol, but I don’t want to moderate, or squat.
