Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

Per @CARCOSA@hexbear.net's suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

Very cool to have someone mod a community they don't like, fantastic

I also like that the solution was to shut down the comm entirely rather than seeking new mods that actually like the content of the comm

I think it gives a hell a lot of context to the Stack Overflow-esque application of Rule 8, if nothing else

I really don't get it
