Do we have an inactive mod policy, or something like RedditRequest?
There's no communities I think need better moderation, or any that have no active mods (that I know of), but if there is one day, can somebody make a request to have ownership or moderation powers transferred over to them?
Since you brought it up, I'd like to bring up my gripe with the brisbanetrains head mod. Dude's been entirely inactive except for the one time they came in, removed my weeks-old post and told me it was because of some drama without explanation of what said drama was. I messaged second mod who said they couldn't get in touch with them.
Not a huge deal because the community's basically dead anyway and there's no good reason its content can't go in [email protected]. If something were to be done about it though, I'd propose the current second mod being given the job instead. They were at least active on the site.
Oh, that's me. Yeah that was really weird. I ended up just reapproving your post myself since they never replied to me either and I don't understand why it was removed in the first place.
To be honest I'd support shutting it down entirely and merging with c/Brisbane. Or maybe doing what Nath suggested and creating one big C/AustralianTrains community and merging into that. I only keep c/MelbourneTrains active(ish) because I live here and am looped in with what's happening, but I've found it difficult to keep up with what's going on in Brissy. Same with Sydney, although c/SydneyTrains's inactivity is mostly due to laziness on my part
