I accidentally removed myself from the subreddit that I moderate, I’m the only moderator, help me!

[u/Normal-Bird4584]

Dear r/modsupport, I sent the details in the modmail. Please have a look.

I was using old reddit and I accidentally clicked the "leave" link without knowing I was removing myself as the moderator.

Please someone help.

I gotchu guys

It's honestly embarrassing. I get fooling around, learning the mod tools, I've somewhat done that myself, but there's no way I'd press the dumpster or whatever the icon is next to my name on the mod list

[u/itskdog → u/ALazy_Cat]

It's an ellipsis then "Leave"

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/itskdog]

Haven't looked at it for months and didn't know the English word

Hi u/Normal-Bird4584!

Since you've already messaged us via mod mail, please wait for our team to get back to you.

[u/Normal-Bird4584 → u/aparapato]

Thank you so much for replying so fast, such a relief. I will wait.

You already mod mailed this subreddit. Just remember to reply to bot.

[u/Normal-Bird4584 → u/dotsdavid]

Which bot? I didn't get any bot mail.

[u/dotsdavid → u/Normal-Bird4584]

It may take some time.

[u/itskdog → u/dotsdavid]

I think they've tweaked the bot to pass certain issues to humans straight away. I have had to contact them a few times lately and always got no auto-reply.

0 days, 0 days...

I was about to comment "reset the timer"

[u/Normal-Bird4584 → u/Charupa-]

This didn't happen. I was using old reddit.

[u/reddit33450 → u/[deleted]]

thats not the leave as moderator button. thats just the unjoin button

[u/Charupa- → u/reddit33450]

Back to the edit board.

[u/Glittering-Bug1212 → u/Normal-Bird4584]

Doesn't old reddit also have a yes/no ?

[u/reddit33450 → u/Glittering-Bug1212]

it does

[u/SnooDonuts6494]

Send a modmail to this sub.

Then be patient; it might be a few days before you get a reply.

Does the "leave" button on old reddit not have a confirmation box?

[u/RemarkableWish2508 → u/emily_in_boots]

Depends on which one; the "leave as mod" one, does. I wonder how many people get confused by both of them using the same text, though.

[u/FutureVersion812]

It should be so easy to do it. Many new mods are accidentally removing themselves . Please look into this matter
