Keeping mod who passed away on team list
Keeping mod who passed away on team list

My friend who I moderated a few subreddits with passed away almost 2 years ago and we have kept her on the mod lists. I want to keep her there because she passed from the diseases that our subreddits are support groups for, and I want her to be remembered for her work running them. Her profile is also public and the history on it may be helpful for new users with her diagnoses, so that’s another reason.

I understand that as time passes this can sometimes become a security issue. Is there a way we can set her account up with Alumni status without it needing to be requested on her end? Or is there another alternative that would work better?

Thank you.

Edit: This has been resolved, we can request Alumni role for other mods without them having to accept it on their account - I’ll leave the post up in case anyone has the same question in the future!

Edit 2: This post is continuing to get upvotes and next Friday is the awareness day for her disorder. If anyone is reading this with curiosity, please consider wearing RED or dressing your subreddit up in RED 4 VEDS on May 15 ❤️ increased awareness means earlier diagnoses and earlier diagnoses can save lives. https://thevedsmovement.org/veds/what-is-veds/ https://www.reds4veds.org/ r/VEDS

Mod Topics

Has there been more activity in your community during your regular event? Did your recent rules update lead to fewer reports on posts? Have you noticed more slap-fights and flame wars during the full moon (or a blue moon), or does it just seem like it? Today’s Mod Topic post is about how data can help you find answers to these questions.

Day-to-day moderation often looks like focusing on what’s in front of you - a report, modmail, or piece of feedback - and making a decision in the moment. Looking at data is the secret to picking up on larger trends, and providing deeper context to what you’re seeing. From your mod insights, monthly community digest, requesting a ~u/modsupportbot~ report, or the results of your community satisfaction survey, there are plenty of places to find data about your community.

We want to hear from you:

  • When do you check your insights page?

  • What questions are you hoping to answer when you look at your community’s data?

  • Which insights or data do you find most valuable
