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)
- I needed one more, I see tmpod around often
Also dead accounts (mod’s) :
@Joe@lemmy.ml (Rust prog.) @Restioson@lemmy.ml since 2yrs
@test42@lemmy.ml SportStreams
@pojntfx@lemmy.ml Anarchism
@dharmatech@lemmy.ml PowerShell
@mlsuyt@lemmy.ml cryptocurrency
@nondescript_person@lemmy.ml …
@jenniferwhite@lemmy.ml . .
@anprim@lemmy.ml .
…!green@lemmy.ml 's 2of3 mods : @theloneforager@lemmy.ml & @Chloe@lemmy.ml
Admin. see this ?
@dessalines@lemmy.ml
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 :
Opinion : moderators status should be revoked after 1 year of inactivity !
If someone wants their communities, they can do a request on !community_requests@lemmy.ml
Are moderators able to resign ?
Should they be revoked after 1 year of inactivity ?
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.
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.
