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

I did not know the part about making comments. My subverse /v/audioengineering was just taken from me and I was not asked. This seems dishonesty, gamey and not fair.

What do I do? I want it back. When I go to make the report it sends me to the thread the other person made when they requested to take the site. The term squatter take-over is very very relevant. It is like a gypsy shows up on your porch and steals from you. I am upset.

[response]

At the time of the request flagging, you had only submitted two comments within the five months of that subverse's lifespan. You had not created a submission in fifty days. You only became active after the request had been made, and we do not take activity after the request flagging into account because it shows that the owner is likely only reacting to the transfer request and had not been interested in actively building the subverse before it was eligible for transfer.

hey moe, you assign to me a motivation to react to said flagging, to make posts in response to said flagging. I see your concern and the huge job you must have, but how can I be motivated in this way if I am unaware of any transfer request or subvoat flagging?

If the subvoat moderator is informed of a subvoat being flagged, I would sure like to see documentation supporting this. Are we keeping it real, or is this asymmetrical use of power? It is like government, if you are going to use power you have to codify it or people have to be informed of the basics.

I do not know of any way that I was informed of said "flagging" and then as a follow-up you are reflexively attributing to me my honest posting and saying it may be in response to being "flagged." I am sure you can see my view on this, put yourself in my shoes. -Some feedback for you.
