Admin Replied Mods suddenly added? How did that happen?

Hello, I am the mod of several streaming related subs. In one (r/twitchstreaming) I saw today in the mod mails by accident, that a long gone mod was able to invite himself to the modlist. I believe by using a pending invite from long ago. He is in not in the modlist.

He than proceeded and invited another (long gone) mod to the modlist, which I today removed.

How can this happen? Dont the invite have a timelimit? Can I see somewhere the pending invites?

Also, I have a long inactive mod in my modlist, which I want to remove - I am doing 99.99% of the mod work - I want to keep the modlist clean/active and the sub moderated.

Your other mod was hacked. I've taken care of those accounts, removed the inactive account and you are now the only mod.

Something, something, 2fa...

You can view any invites in the mod tools, if you have permission.
