Subverse Request Requirements (31 July 2015) (subverserequest)

submitted 9.7 years ago by moe

The account @youcanclaimthissub is used for temporary storage of abandoned subs. You can claim any of the subs this account "owns" (provided you meet the requirements) by opening a new thread in /v/subverserequest and stating which sub you would like to claim.

How to request a transfer

Submit a link post to the subverse you are requesting by writing /v/subversenamehere in the title

Requirements (Updated 7/31/2015)

(1) 100 CCP is required for transfer â Moderators should have both voating buttons so that they can curate content without needing to resort to deletions
(2) 30 day account age required
(3) Only one pending subverse transfer per user at a time
(4) A subverse may not be requested on behalf of another user
(5) User requesting subverse must have activity in subverse â At least 2 posts and 2 comments in the last month in the subverse being requested. If content appears to be submitted just to meet this requirement, request will be denied.
(6) 300 CCP is required in the subverse the user is requesting if subscriber count is 1000 or higher.
(7) A user may not moderate more than 10 subverses.
(8) A user may not moderate (level-2) more than 3 @system owned 'default' subverses.
(99) Requests for /v/whatever will be denied; so whatever
^{(/v/whatever is a @system-owned 'catch-all' that is intended to be unmoderated)}

Requests created prior to this announcement are not subject to the new requirements

I am glad you have changed the rules and I think that this is a very good way of making sure subs are moderated by users who care about the content that is being posted. However, I do think that requiring 300 ccp in the requested subverse is too much, I think this will lead to subs going unmoderated/undeveloped.

We can and will adjust accordingly if this proves to be a bad rule. All we know for certain is #99 is a sure thing.

I think it could block some requests, at least. The 1000 subscriber requirement mitigates it to a degree, but there are likely some fairly dead subs out there with over 1k subscribers (or eventually will be).

Take /v/gadgets or /v/buildapc, for example. There are 3971 and 2570 subscribers, respectively, but they are quite dead; getting 300 CCP there would be near-impossible, or take a very long time, as of now. They are my subs now, and I'm going to do my best to make them active; just saying, had this been in-place at the time of my requests, there is certainly no way I would have received the subs.

It's definitely something to consider, even if it won't affect a large number of requests.

Anyway, thanks! Keep up the great work! :)
