Indeed. So it is indeed the sub I'm talking about. It's not urgent or anything but if there's an official process, that would be nice. The user who founded it just disappeared without posting or commenting...

The process is that mods don't really matter in empty subs, often have too much power anyway, and to just post what you want to the sub if you want to see it grow.

Yeah I get that hence there is no urgency. The problem might be along the way, if the sub takes off and the original mod comes back, then he does whatever he wants with whatever others have done with the sub. I have seen it on reddit.

Well that's why saidit has rules for moderators, which reddit doesn't have at all: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/w6s/saidit_rules_for_moderators/
If a user reports that mod that comes back as breaking any of those rules, then we get rid of that mod.
So really it's not a problem on saidit.

I recommend you try again eventually, and say that you want to add a custom CSS theme and a banner. You can't do that without mod powers. Of course you'll be a liar if you don't follow through. If you need a hand, you can ask me, or /s/CSS or /s/SaiditCSSthemes, or anyone on SaidIt who is mod of a sub with some custom flourishes on their sub(s). Also cite the time it was granted for /s/canda as described here: /s/help/comments/5lwh/claiming_an_abandoned_sub/lqt9 It didn't happen immediately. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.
