On Ruqqus users have the option to "siege a guild" if the moderators are inactive. Can a similar option be implemented on Saidit?

Having a bunch of subs with absentee mods is certainly bad for the spam issue. Spam removals take forever sometimes.

Yep. s/Minecraft doesn't even have a mod, so a while back: that Cher guy started spamming porn there. It's happened in a few other subs, but that's an instance I remember.

Even if the sub has an active mod, there will sometimes be spam if they don't pay that much attention — and it's quite easy to step away for a few days and come back to spam.

As someone who just jumped the boat, this will have to be done tactfully. Right now a lot of controversial guilds are being sieged by a group they call the RCP (Ruqqus Corrective Project), so this will have to be carefully done if we ever are to implement it.

I'd certainly hate it if I had made a finely-tuned sub where people in all sides of the spectrum could relax (as long as they behaved), then I take a small hiatus and I come back to find the sub I worked so hard on utterly destroyed with too much sauce of one kind. Achk! That perfect sub, ruined with Powerade sauce! I was going to enjoy that!

It doesn't have to be handled that carefully really, it just has to be done by site owners who aren't actively malicious.

The RCP doesn't get guilds by taking them from inactive users, the RCP gets guilds by getting the site owners to ban people they don't like, and then the site owners tell the RCP kiddies "Hey guys we banned X and his guilds are open, go siege them."

That's not really carefully done, is it...

That seems like a good solution to a big problem here on Saidit — a lot of communities I use don't have mods, or the only mod is dead, so being able to get new moderation would help. The problem is that mods could be active, but not in the sub they moderate.

What subs are unmoderated?
