MODERATORS

Do you want to nominate someone for mod? (lemmy.ml)

Hey all, I think it's unfair for me to be the only moderator (plus the admins!).

I was trying to find some good candidates and I certainly found many, but I think it's much more fair to open the floor for nominations.

Some groundrules so this goes smoothly:

You are allowed to nominate unlimited people, including yourself
You must make each nomination in a separate comment
Please ensure the user in question has not yet been nominated, if they have please upvote the existing nomination and maybe leave a comment in support instead!

This is somewhat of a popularity contest, although note I do not promise the most popular candidates will be the ones selected.

This post will be updated when mods are appointed with the logic behind appointment.

@mekhos@lemmy.ml has been appointed. This is because

Overwhelming support
7 hour timezone difference (if I did the math correctly)

@tmpod@lemmy.pt

I needed one more, I see tmpod around often

Good digging! I wonder if its a good to remove or tag dead accounts like @Joe(archived)@lemmy.ml because you don't really want users sending messages off to dead accounts and waiting for a reply that never comes.

i agree and also :
Moderators status should be revoked after 1 year of inactivity !

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If someone wants their communities, they can do a request on !community_requests@lemmy.ml

[–] a_Ha@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are moderators able to resign ?
Should they be revoked after 1 year of inactivity ?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The top mod can transfer a community to anyone they want, but there's not a way to resign currently unless another mod removes you.

[–] a_Ha@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Clean(?) "way to resign" at worst :
"another mod (who) removes you" will be a sockpuppet-mod of the moderator wanting to resign. Credentials of the sockpuppet would be sent to another moderator and admin. Lastly, sockpuppet account would be closed after a pre-established 2 months.
