- I was the founding mod of my sub and today when I opened it, there's shitpost on my sub everywhere, I checked the mod list and I observed that Reddit has covereted my MOD status into ALUMINI status without any reason and prior notice
- Please help me as I spent my hard work and time building this sub
Hi there. You requested Alumni status on December 7th. If you want to remove the status, you will need to leave the mod team and ask the remaining mods to invite you back.
You will have had to request alumni previously. Double check you're the only person with access to your account.
YES, ONLY I HAVE THE ACCESS

oi
guys the pic is different, here in the attachd pic i'm trying to convey that i am being removed by reddit
Yes, we all understand what happened. You (or someone using your reddit account) requested alumni status, and reddit said "Okie dokie, since this is what you've asked for, here it is". If you are certain that you did not request alumni status, you should make sure you're the only person with access to your reddit account. In other words, change your password.
They only do that if you request them to.
I’m just kind of blown away at how often this is happening.
Seems like we need a lot more gates to get Alumni Status if this is happening this often by error.
Mods often complain users don’t read, but that doesn’t mean mods do read or read well. More gates is fine of course, but that won’t fix the not reading part
Math problems. We need math problems that have to be solved before you can submit it.
As long as the final answer is 67.
lol, I’ve officially hit that age where my initial reaction is “kids these days”.
Mods - Create unclear system, get upset at people confusion and questions, permaban as solution.
Considering how often people remove themselves completely as mods, nothing surprises me anymore.
It’s obvious they aren’t reading what it actually is, and are probably assuming it’s an elevated mod status.
Are you positive that you didn’t actually request ”Alumni Status”. It’s not something that happens by default, it has to be requested.
This isn't urgent but what is the "Alumini Status"? I'm a newbie mod and have never heard of this before
It's a "mod in name only" status with no permissions. It's meant for mods who are no longer active but who once contributed significantly to the subreddit.
Interesting! Thanks :)
In addition to that. Sometimes mods just decide they no longer are interested in being active, and this give them an option to leave gracefully, without having to be fully removed from the mod team. They can still see everything in the mod logs, and communicate with the other mods, they just can’t do any mod actions.
Good to know! :)
And lastly, as you’ve hopefully learned from this thread, don’t request it if you don’t actually want it lol.
I've reached that conclusion hahaha but that was funny 🤣

Got it, thanks :)
Send modmail to this sub.

That’s not what this is. Their sub doesn’t even have 700 members, so they aren’t at risk here.
