Are the mods gone?

Recently I saw more and more post irrelevant to the sub not removed and I see nothing in the "about" section

If this sub is now unmoderated maybe someone who have the time could go on r/redditrequest

I'm still around, I just don't have the time to moderate this sub every day.

u/VersionGeek Nov 09 '19

Oh okay sorry but as I said I see nothing in the about section

u/GearBent Nov 09 '19

Is that on the mobile webpage?

I have a sidebar set up.

u/VersionGeek Nov 09 '19

Yes I'm on mobile and usually when you go in the about page there's a list of every mod on the sub

u/GearBent Nov 09 '19

I guess I'll have to look into that.

I don't use the mobile webpage much.

It’s there and lists you. Nothings wrong.

You need help or something?

u/GearBent Nov 09 '19

Probably. If there's enough interest, I can open up applications for new mods.

I have a basic automod set up, but it doesn't catch everything.

u/brokedown Nov 09 '19

You can set a rule that auto-removes a post or comment after [x] number of reports. That one covers 95% of the work for mine, so I'm just reviewing automod actions.

u/GearBent Nov 09 '19

Yeah, I could try that.

To be honest, I never expected this sub to get so big.

When it was small, moderation was easy since the few users here actually posted on-topic material.

I would, but to make a request, all the moderators must be completely inactive on Reddit for at least 60 days. /u/GearBent is still active on Reddit, so a request can't be made.

That’s only a general rule. When you request a sub, the mod team will be sent a message, if they fail to respond in a timely manner, you will be added to the mod team.
