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…
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:

- https://lemmynsfw.com/c/shelikesitrough
- https://lemmynsfw.com/c/facesitting
- https://lemmynsfw.com/c/femdom
- https://lemmynsfw.com/c/asslick

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. :)
Ok, I’ll transfer soon. Thanks for volunteering.
Looks like you should create a post/comment on those communities to be appointed. Can you do it?
Done!
all transfered except femdom
Ah, how come? I’ve commented here: https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/119059
k now did it
Okay all of these communities have images and rules now.
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.
Can mods be reinstated
of cause, admin is omnipotent, admin can just go into lil database and add anyone as a mod of anything
I created a community but then deleted it. I’ve been unable to remake it since.
I may help you with that. Which community is it?
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.
I can purge one of them if you want?
I will take College Sluts.
done
Thank you. Are you able to remove the banned account?
Sending an email to info@lemmy.world creates a ticket.
Then there is also a community to request take take over a community: https://lemmy.world/c/community_requests@lemmy.ml
Ok this one makes sense. Done! https://lemmynsfw.com/c/community_requests
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.
hmmm seems head mod can’t leave modship after creating a community, sad!
I don’t know moderator side but admins can do it
I can mod teens if needed
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.
That user hasn’t logged in in 9 days. Thought this post was actually prompted by the discussion about that
Looks like not inactive
