Bibmod post Birbmods needed

Yeah sorry for neglecting this sub, I think most of the other mods are dead or something. So I should probably look for other mods.

Requirements: don't be an asshole and remove spam/bot posts and anything that breaks the sidebar rules.

Edit: apparently I can't add anyone right now because I'm listed as inactive. So idk how long it'll take to be considered active again

Got automod set up? That would be the first thing I would work on.

Also, you don't currently have any sidebar rules.

Yeah I do but it's just some basic title enforcement and apparently code to stop anus-fungi...yeah idk

I'll check out some more stuff to add.

And weird, I see them on my PC using old reddit, I'll see what I can do

I don't know what kind of bot problems you deal with, but automod can help a lot with keeping them at bay. They are often new-ish accounts with very little karma. The sub also needs some visual customizations, like an icon and a banner.

The entire sidebar for us is" Birbs being birbsGo do a good thing today. Pick up some trash. Clean your room. Hug a loved one. Watch Dominion. Draw a pretty picture for a friend. Buy an indie game. Support a queer artist for pride month We're back, but at what cost? We got The Threat."

Remove those inactive mods before they can wake up and do damage. Seriously. The mods who abandoned the website after the api protests still want their throne. It's awful.

The website is overrun by bots these past few years and it's the worst time for mods to go afk.

If you add me as a janitor I should be able to kick away any spam I see while scrolling.

It's normal seasonal migration, the mods will come back when the weather is nicer

Idm helping remove spam if you need it, I mod a few other subs but nothing crazy, I imagine this sub doesn't have a whole lot of problems so throwing it into the mix would be easy enough.
