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

What about empty subs? The subverse I requested is deserted and the moderator inactive for 5 months. The participation rule makes no sense for this, since there's no one to participate with and nothing to participate in, in a sub with an AWOL moderator.

Anonymous subverses are rather tricky to deal with.

Regarding the "2 posts / comments" rule, perhaps we could append "if the subverse has had any activity in the past month" so that 'dead' subverses such as that aren't subject to the requirement.

By the way, your subverse request was created before these new requirements were rolled out and thus is not subject to them. I'll approve it when I get that far in the queue.

Well this is ridiculous, my request was made well before all of these requirements yet the rules were retroactively applied to my request? This is a double standard, and the subverse I asked for is still unused yet I don't meet the new criteria.

Here is the link to my request, check the time stamps and please reconsider. I would love to get into Voat but this is the only thing I'm interested in participating in at the moment.

I honestly do like the site and wish to make the transition if possible
