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.
I created a community but then deleted it. I’ve been unable to remake it since.
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’d happily take !hairy@lemmynsfw.com, !hairypussy@lemmynsfw.com, and !upskirt@lemmynsfw.com.
Can you post/comment on those communities?
Done
Transfered upskirt. But others still have an admin. You can ask him for it.
