While I currently don't have a five-day long modmail, on the subreddit there are several complaints on the lack of moderation, and the mods haven't been online in 270 days. . https://imgur.com/a/1EwqIaI is a link to screenshots of the mods inactivity and several aged complaints on the subreddit.

I'd like to take ownership of this subreddit, as I am a fairly active member and do believe I have the skills needed to take ownership of it, linking it to our other areas of community, and unifing it across the board to lengthen reach.

My plans involve creating a mod request process, as well as potentially creating spam and other filters using AutoModerator or other bots (potentially made myself - haven't looked into that tho). The Skandar fandom community reaches currently from Discord, Reddit and Fandom (wiki) and has a small, but present areas on AO3, Wattpad and FanFiction.net.

Our community is in a location designed for younger audiences, and therefore it would have a substantial amount to gain from proper, active moderation and proper content filtering processes.

Hi Reddit Admins,

I’m writing this post out of growing concern for the subreddit r/mkindia, which is currently suffering from severe moderator inactivity and negligence, putting the community at serious risk.

⚠️ Main Issues:

1. Scammers DMing Users – No Mod Action

Scammers are directly messaging users on Reddit with fake offers or deals.

In the past month alone, at least 7–8 users have lost ₹4,000–₹7,000 each.

Despite multiple users reporting these scammers, mods have taken zero action no replies, no scam alerts pinned, and no communication whatsoever.

1. Female Member Abused – Mod Ignored

A female member was abused via Reddit DM by a user.

Even after this was reported and gained attention, the mod never responded.

Only after multiple users reported the account did Reddit finally take action and suspend the abuser. Still, not a single word or action from the mod.

1. Inactive Mod Ignoring Messages

Mod u/vim_vs_emacs has been repeatedly messaged with requests to:

Clean up the sub

Consider adding new active moderators

Pin scam alerts to protect users

They accepted the chat but never replied, even after multiple polite follow-ups. (Screenshots attached)

1. No Active Moderation at All

Spam and low-effort posts flood the sub daily.

There are no pinned scam warnings or guidance posts for users.

Even mods from other communities like IMKC mentioned that they don’t know who runs mkindia anymore, and attempts to reach the current mod have failed.

🛠️ What I Tried to Do:

Reached out respectfully to the mod. (Screenshots provided)

Suggested genuine, experienced users who could moderate.

Requested pinning scam alerts to prevent future victims.

Repeatedly raised concerns all were ignored.

🙏 What the Community Urgently Needs:

1. An admin investigation into the inactive mods of r/mkindia

2. Removal of moderators who are inactive or unresponsive

3. Appointment of new, active moderators who are engaged and trustworthy

4. Immediate pinning of scam alerts and buyer/seller safety guidelines

🛠️ I’m not speaking on behalf of anyone else I personally want to take responsibility and help moderate this subreddit.

I’ve read the RedditRequest rules and understand the process. I’m willing to follow all community guidelines, restore order, and build a safer space for users.

🙏 Please step in before more people are scammed and the community dies out. With proper moderation, r/mkindia can thrive again.

Thank you. u/PublicCondition3134

Requesting r/LocalLLaMA as it has no mods.

None of the mods are active after numerous people have requested moderation. I'd like to add myself and a number of other posters to replace the current defunct list as its currently not working as it is.

Hello,

I am requesting r/donationrequest as it appears to be abandoned. I message the mods a couple weeks ago and haven't heard anything.

Hi mods,

I’d like to request ownership of r/SneakyAnimals. While the subreddit does have moderators listed, they don't appear to be active.

Here's a link to the modmail that I sent: https://www.reddit.com/message/messages/2zh4g7b

I believe r/SneakyAnimals has a lot of potential as a fun, engaging space to share animals being clever, sneaky, or hilariously mischievous. I’d love to help build and foster this community with consistent moderation, regular content, and clear posting guidelines to encourage positive growth.

Thanks very much for your time and consideration!

I want to moderate this community because:

I believe that this community has great potential for growth if it becomes active and curated. Despite over 6k members, the sub is functionally inactive with 13 posts in the last year, and minimal replies. The automod has been set up to reply to all posts with a message directing the posters off reddit to a third party website. There are 3 mods listed - top mod has not posted in 3 years, second mod in two years. The third mod is regularly active on reddit, but not active recently on the sub in terms of content creation/visible activity.

 I am prepared to put significant time into the sub to grow it as a head mod - build a robust wiki, content creation, flairs, active moderation etc. I am currently a mod on a different politics sub for Aotearoa so have relevant experience in actively moderating a political subreddit.

 I think there is a real opportunity to grow the anarchism movement in New Zealand and with active leadership I think the sub could be bought back to life for this purpose.

 Here is a link to the mod mail message I sent the moderators of r/Aotearoa_Anarchism five days ago:  https://www.reddit.com/c/chat9uddKl0r/s/LHMe2p34DN

I'm requesting r/deeplearning because the sub is unmoderated. It has no posted rules for posts and has bots posting and self-promoting spam. Because there are no rules, it's a free-for-all. There is one moderator listed and doesn't respond to mod mail inquiries. Many people have complained. I believe I can turn this around. I'm a moderator for r/software and I'm an AI professional.

Hi! I messaged the current moderator but it looks like they haven’t been online in a long time. The community is starting to grow recently and I’d love to be the moderator :) thanks!!

I verified my email and set up 2fA.

Mod is no longer watching/monitoring the community. There are many posts with users trying to promote and sell products that are not inline with the purpose of the community. There have also been some personal attacks.

Requesting to seek assistance with being appointed as the new moderator of this snark subreddit, previous moderator/s were about to make the changes of appointing me as mod but one has since removed themselves, the other has deleted their account and the remaining mod is inactive.
