Reached out to mod, who appears to have been inactive for the last two months, and haven’t heard back. Would like to volunteer taking community over as mod. Currently recruiting help from other Sens fans. !ottawasenators@lemmy.ca
Hi, I have been trying to work with the Toronto Maple Leafs community, and would like to request the top mod spot
Howdy folks, We're launching [c/CommunityRequests](https://lemmy.ca/c/communityrequests) to combat a growing issue on Lemmy.ca in general, which is unmoderated communities. What this will do is allow you to apply to take over an unmoderated community by posting in [c/CommunityRequests](https://lemmy.ca/c/communityrequests) a request to take the community over. Ultimately we decided to steal the system used on Reddit, but with some modifications to make it a bit more fair to users submitting requests. Our initial guidelines are as follows: 1) A community will be considered unmoderated if the moderators have not interacted with the community for over a month. 2) Users may request communities where no moderators are interacting with the community. 3) Moderators within the community may ask to have the top mod replaced if the top mod is inactive, but other moderators are still active. 4) In both cases, moderators have 5 days to appeal the request. If no appeal is received within the time-frame, the request will be granted by the Admin Team to the requestor. 5) Requests made in bad faith will be rejected. For example, requesting a community you have been permanently banned from for justified reasons, or requesting a community in order to completely change the purpose of it for the worse. These guidelines may be adjusted a bit as time goes on. This is a new system and we're going to need to try things for a bit to see if they work or not. In any event, feel free to start using the community immediately. Please give us feedback on your thoughts and ideas! Cheers, Ms. SourCreamAndGarlic
