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; @Solaire@lemmynsfw.com 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…
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. :)
Looks like you should create a post/comment on those communities to be appointed. Can you do it?
I created a community but then deleted it. I’ve been unable to remake it since.
Can mods be reinstated? If so, I think a week is a good time to remove a mod, if they come back then they can rejoin as mods. If not I’d wait at least a month to remove inactive mods, but still would appoint new mods to keep the community under control.
I can mod teens if needed
