(Warning) There’s a guy called u/throw72747383, be careful of him!

He has an alt called u/subreddit-collector. He gets multiple subreddits like r/USexpats and r/GiraffeClub and leaves them inactive. He joined yesterday (as of posting this) and he uses his alt to collect subreddits. I have proof of this!

Can I just rant?

42 Upvotes

Ok so I notice there are a lot of posts requesting subs. I wouldn’t mind these but there are far too many, and they never get any comments. Give it up guys and wait for a sub to pop up.

Adopted! The problem with this subreddit

30 Upvotes

If you look at the recent posts on this subreddit, most of the throw aways people are giving away are usually 1-10 days old with no real purpose or motive other than a one-off thing. I *think* their should be a minor rule that will fix this issue, why create a subreddit with no motive? It's just kinda pointless tbh.

Adopted! Putting r/Magolor up for adoption

26 Upvotes

r/Magolor

I've decided that I no longer want to moderate this subreddit. I just genuinely don't know what to do with it anymore and I've been busy with other, more important things.

It has 400+ members and is fairly inactive. I hope I can find a trustworthy person to take it over from me.

Just want this to become a thing. For when you want to search something up but you don't want advertisers or FBI agents to think your weird so you let other people do it for you.

How to take over a community? The current moderator hasn't been on in a year I believe.

22 Upvotes

Is it possible for me to take over a community? The moderator hasn't been on in a while it seems. I would like to possibly change the name, but for sure updating the About Community to drive more traffic. I have realized an US vs UK spelling has probably caused this reddit to have low activity. How would one go about becoming the moderator or at least updating the about community section? Remember the current moderator last post on reddit was a year ago. If my request isnt possible, could an admin please just change the about community section to the text below the sub reddit name. Honestly, this will be helping a lot of guys out there that are in a really bad situation that dont have many places to go. Also, please unblock photos as there are practically no photos on the web about progression of this disease, so we need a place we can share this info.

r/lichensclerosis

Updated About Community: A group for males who suffer from penile Lichen Sclerosis (UK Spelling), penile Lichen Sclerosus (US Spelling) and Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO).

[(https://www.reddit.com/r/AmericanPickers)]

I've had this subreddit for over 5 years and I have barely done anything with it and its an injustice to the show and their fans.

Looking for someone to adopt it and is a fan of the show and will help make it the best American Pickers subreddit.

Being a mod

19 Upvotes

In a recent post, someone had asked how much work goes into being a mod. I thought this would be an important topic for discussion, so I'm making it a new post.

The amount of work it takes to be a mod will vary, depending on the individual community needs. At the very least, a mod should sweep through the spam filter at least once a day. Preferably, they'd also go over new posts. This is easy with small groups. It gets tougher with big groups. As the group gets bigger, it becomes more important to emphasize using the report button to find things that don't belong.

Other things to consider are the rules you set - do you let pretty much anything be posted (spam aside), and let the community vote on it? Or do you have certain criteria you'd like to maintain? These will determine how much time you put in.

Finally, how many mod posts will you have? Will it be a group like /r/redditoroftheday or /r/subredditoftheday, which has a lot of mod activity (to the point that only mods can post)? This would dramatically increase how much time you have to pay attention to your (potential) group.

Finally, please consider reading this list of tools in /r/reddittools. There are a few guides to help new mods, and a quick basics idea. That should give you all the information you'll need to be a mod.

Adopted! Giving away r/xijinping and r/vladimirputin

18 Upvotes

I got them via request because I thought it would be funny. I'm kind of just bored with it and don't have time to really run them. They're not very active but I would like to give them away to someone who would keep running them as silly meme pages.
