Request Yielded Flack

Did a Request for a community I'd been watching and noticing lack of Moderation.

Sent 5 day message. No reply.

Submitted Request. Granted 4 days later after no response from either Mod.

Almost immediately get raving ModMail from one now former Mod.

Explained what happened.

'I didn't feel like replying'.

Tried to be generous and offer to invite them back and consider leaving but had to be mindful or RR rules on passing grants off.

The more I looked, the more I saw why the Request was granted. Page after page after page of unmoderated Reports just in the last few weeks.

Former Mod, now added back says 'I don't have to do it that way.'

Had really planned on leaving after a few days, maybe a couple of weeks once I got clearance from RR Admins that there wouldn't be any repercussions.

Not so sure now.

Spent quite a while this morning clearing reports. Lots more to go.

Subreddit hoarders are still very much a thing. They were quite happy letting the weeds take over and do absolultey nothing. I would not want a mod like that on my team

This was the creator some dozen or so years ago. Only on one or two other teams now. May have just burned out over time I guess.

The ' I don't have to handle reports' bit was interesting.

They claim to have filed a complaint with Admin about them not following the RR rules to hand it over to me.

I'll get a kick out of showing Admins that message.
