Inactive mods? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Spacebar@lemmy.world to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
 

I moderate the /c/stopdrinking community. The person who created it didn't want to mod, and so I volunteered. Now the creator has gone inactive and hasn't been around for for 4 days.

I'd like to update the sidebar, etc, but only the creator seems to be able to do that.

What happens if he never comes back? If he can eventually be removed, what would be a reasonable amount of time to wait?

In the meantime, can an Admin change the sidebar text for me?

You'll have to ask a site admin like @ruud@lemmy.world

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How? Do I just message them?

[–] a_crappy_pirate@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he should have just been pinged by that comment, but i'll do it from the world instance just in case

hey @ruud there's a community where the top mod has gone inactive and the next person wants to do some changes but can't. could you please help? cheers

In case Rudd sees this, I'd like the new sidebar to read:

"This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down. Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile."

What's there isn't very helpful.

Now the creator has gone inactive and hasn't been around for for 4 days.

Question from someone who might want to start a couple of magazines/communities: Is being away for four days long enough to be considered inactive?

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

No, it shouldn't be, many people have commitments and as long as there is a mod active then the community is being covered.

This is the second post I've seen on the matter today and it's disappointing that we are already seeing people trying to assure they are the King of their little domain.

I was tired of these politics in Reddit and I'm not eager to continue seeing it here.

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I just want someone to add a proper description. I'm sorry if that's me trying to become a king of some little domain.

People really ascribe the worst to things sometimes.

Sending an email to info@lemmy.world creates a ticket. Ruud got back to me slightly after 24 hours.

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been sober since January 2nd and the creator asked for mods because he made it when he wasn't sober and I messaged him I'd be a mod but he never replied. I was active on the subreddit

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sent a message to the mod because spacebar shows up as a bot on my browser. I think we need Ruud’s help.

[–] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Seems like the creator went drinking

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Username says you are a bot.

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My bot checkbox is unchecked. Am I still a bot?

[–] Skullfurious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't see it. Was it checked before ?

[–] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Reach out to the Admins of the instance the community is located on?

[–] phil299@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Good question , hopefully someone will know cos I ain't got clue

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago

You can always make the same community on a different instance.
