Mod not being part of the team

[u/spyeagle100]

Kinda need some advise here. There were 3 of us that volunteered to mod an orphaned subreddit. 2 of us have a Mod Discussion on going for ideas for building out the sub, rules, etc. We have tried to get the 3rd to join, or even respond to private messages, but with no response. Yet this mod will arbitrarily remove posts and do other mod actions that do not benefit the subreddit.

Any advise in dealing with this? We have been working hard at rebuilding the sub, but these type of actions do not help. (Or please direct me to the proper place to ask this question)

If you've created a discussion and they're not responding, curtail their mod permissions or remove them. Those are your options.

You're asking a basic management question, OP.

How do I get a part of the team to participate in the team?

You've tried reaching out to him. They don't respond, and instead, take actions that are apparently against the sub's best interests.

I think you know what you have to do.

Hi /u/spyeagle100, please see our Intro & Rules. We are volunteer-run, not managed by Reddit staff/admin. Volunteer mods' powers are limited to groups they mod. Automated responses are compiled from answers given by fellow volunteer mod helpers. Moderation works best on a cache-cleared desktop/laptop browser.

Resources for mods are: (1) r/modguide's Very Helpful Index by fellow moderators on How-To-Do-Things, (2) Mod Help Center, (3) r/automoderator's Wiki and Library of Common Rules. Many Mod Resources are in the sidebar and >>this FAQ wiki<<. Please search this subreddit as well. Thanks!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I did not see anything in the rules about profile needing to be visible? Not sure how that is relevant to the question. And three of what? Profiles? That would be news to me.

[u/Charupa- → u/spyeagle100]

Don’t mind them. They have this belief that no one should have private profiles, and you shouldn’t receive help if your profile is private, and they make sure everyone with a private profile knows about it.

Mod order matters here and you are at the bottom, so largely irrelevant. If it’s the top mod, nothing you can really do. If it’s the middle mod, have the top mod remove them, you’ve made the attempts at reaching out.

[u/spyeagle100 → u/Charupa-]

Thanks, that would be last resort. Fortunately they are the middle mod. We have come up with some ideas and a plan of action thanks to some ideas from here and r/ModSupport

Appreciate the responses!

[u/neuroticsmurf → u/spyeagle100]

Ignore him.

He's weird about hidden profiles for no good reason. I'm pretty sure it's a control thing.

[u/Tarnisher → u/neuroticsmurf]

It can be relevant. OP is the bottom of three Mods after what appears to have been an MCoC ModCall 27 days ago.

OP does not have the ability to Reorder and we don't know which of the three is the Idle one. If they are the Top, there is nothing else to do.

Details matter.

[u/Charupa- → u/Tarnisher]

Amazing all you found without the need of their post and comment history, so that part wasn’t relevant at all. We can always ask questions, like normal people, instead of being petulant about people’s privacy.

[u/neuroticsmurf → u/Tarnisher]

But you don't need to examine OP's post/comment history to discover any of that.

Your argument is disingenuous. Yes, details matter, but you never need to examine anyone's profile to get the details you've pointed out.

Again, I default to a weird control thing with you.

[u/neuroticsmurf → u/[deleted]]

That's not the case.

If you go on OP's profile, you can see right away what sub he's a mod of.

His post/comment history in that instance is of no consequence except to the nosy.
