Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hi!

This community has been abandoned by the creator. So in order to keep this community open we need new moderators.

As a moderator it is your job to make sure the users follow the Lemmy World instance rules which can be found here: https://lemmy.world/legal

Ideally we would like different moderators from different timezones.

If you're interested please contact @antik@lemmy.world or send an email to info@lemmy.world

Thanks!

When a creator abandons his community, how can anyone else take over? Could the creator "come back" later?

[–] antik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, not just like that. It would be up to the new moderator team should the original mod come back. But it's been two months, small chance.

So how does the original creator loses his powers and how do others take it? Can that mechanism be abused?

[–] antik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Moderators have guidelines and they have a job to do, if they don't so their job they get removed because we can not leave communities unmoderated. I think in the case of this community it is pretty clear that they are not around.

So it's either close the community or find new mods. We prefer to look for new mods first.

Apparently you lose your power for no known reason. You can have your account banned and removed from mods without any notice. Welcome to Lemmy.world.
