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

How long should a top mod be inactive before a request can be made?

Thirty days. The FAQ is due to be updated in the foreseeable future.

Everyone has limited time, but it'd be nice if the sticky post made it obvious that subverses not owned by @youcanclaimthissub have additional requirements before a claim to the sub will be approved. Maybe the only subs eligible for transfer are the ones @youcanclaimthissub owns?

Maybe the only subs eligible for transfer are the ones @youcanclaimthissub owns?

Any subverse with an inactive owner (including @youcanclaimthissub) or an owner willing to give up ownership is eligible for transfer. That account exists mainly to indicate subverses that have no owner whatsoever.
