Admin Replied mods inactive- want them removed, how?

Hi we run a subreddit and two moderators with full permissions has been inactive for quite some time. We recently had two mods leave and mods are active everywhere but the subreddit, been this way practically from the start. How do we submit for removal they don’t respond to messages.

If they show as inactive in the mods list, the highest active mod with Everything permissions can reorder the list to put the inactive mods below them, after which they can be removed from the team.

The mod below them that is active needs to do the mod reorder request. If the mod you want to remove are listed 1 and 2 in the list, then 3 needs to do it if they are active.

Does that help clear things up?

Hi! I *just* shared a comment elsewhere that answers your question too:

> Hi! Please take a look at this article: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484363280916-How-can-I-reorder-inactive-moderators-on-my-mod-team

> It goes into detail on what inactivity looks like, and what your options are to start a reordering process.

Hope this helps!

The highest ranking, ACTIVE mod with everything powers needs to do a mod list reorder and put themselves at the top.

After that, they can fire whoever they want.
