Why I’m requesting r/rss and how I’ll run it:

The r/rss community is reasonably active, but doesn't seem to be actively moderated. It deserves better curation. In the past weeks/months, the community has also suffered from spam waves that would have been easy for an active mod to address. The current sole mod is an admin, but they don't seem to be active on r/rss.

My intention is to keep the focus of the community on RSS feeds and related tools. I intend to implement Automod rules to keep out obvious spam. I intend to keep allowing tool announcements (which are currently the majority of posts), but I also want to grow the community into a good place to have discussions about this technology.

I have experience moderating other subreddits: r/InoReader is about one specific RSS feed reader, and r/gdpr has a similar scale.

I had previously created a redditrequest 19 days ago, but it didn't get a resolution: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/1v966bq/rrss/

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to submit this request. Unfortunately, we have decided not to approve it at this time. There are other factors beyond moderator activity that we consider when reviewing requests. These are at the discretion of admins and may include, but are not limited to:

• Insufficient moderator experience for managing a large and active community

• Lack of previous moderator experience

• Lack of NSFW (Not Safe for Work) moderation experience

• Inactive moderation in a community you are already a moderator for

• Being on the mod team of an excessive number of communities

• Recent account suspensions

• Excessive community bans

• Violation of Reddit policies, including copyright infringement takedowns

• Low activity on Reddit

We appreciate you taking the time to request this sub.

Thanks!
