Subverse Request Requirements (31 July 2015) (subverserequest)

submitted 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

Requirements (Updated 7/31/2015)

  • (1) 100 CCP is required for transfer — 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 — 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

Rule 5 is the only rule that I don't really agree with on this list. You bring up a good point about poking a dead subverse and in doing so waking up the mod. I also wonder what happens if there's a sub for lions (the sports team) that's completely dead and abandoned, but you want to use it for actual animal lions. Do you have to post sports related content to qualify? What about after the transfer?

All in all it looks like a good list of requirements that will probably be refined as time goes on. There are lots of scenarios that can't be anticipated in advance.

This is a carbon-copy of a website that has existed for the better part of a decade. Pretty much every scenario can be anticipated.

Upto to and including a free speech bait & switch. Reddit did that and it's why I'm here now.
