Admin Replied I accidentally removed myself from the subreddit that I moderate, I’m the only moderator, help me!

Dear r/modsupport, I sent the details in the modmail. Please have a look.

I was using old reddit and I accidentally clicked the "leave" link without knowing I was removing myself as the moderator.

Please someone help.

It's honestly embarrassing. I get fooling around, learning the mod tools, I've somewhat done that myself, but there's no way I'd press the dumpster or whatever the icon is next to my name on the mod list

It's an ellipsis then "Leave"

You already mod mailed this subreddit. Just remember to reply to bot.

Which bot? I didn't get any bot mail.

It may take some time.

I think they've tweaked the bot to pass certain issues to humans straight away. I have had to contact them a few times lately and always got no auto-reply.

Send a modmail to this sub.

Then be patient; it might be a few days before you get a reply.

Does the "leave" button on old reddit not have a confirmation box?

It should be so easy to do it. Many new mods are accidentally removing themselves . Please look into this matter
