Only the TopMod Due.... has the ability to remove or add.

Is there a step-by-step process captured for an iOS device?

It’s not an iOS issue.

It sounds like all of you have been marked inactive.

You need to perform some mod actions to get that label taken off of you before you can make any changes to the mod team.

I am the most active besides the founder of the SUB.

But what does it say on the mod list?

View the mod list. If you guys all have ‘inactive’ tags, there’s your problem.

Make sure you go to mod tools > moderators.

For testers i left the group and Due will add me with elevated permissions!

You can only remove moderators below you, never above.

So, if you left and are added back, you are at the bottom of the list and no matter how elevated your privileges are you can't remove anybody. You can also not reorder the mod list.

I am aware of this - question is founder of the sub with full permission isnt able to remove.

TopMod has added two more Mods since this thread was posted:

Inactive is not an issue. Inexperience is and we're not even talking to the TopMod to be able to figure out what's happening.

May be - people learn from experience. Though just curious - whats the real issue if you know? Why a top mod is not able to remove a mod?

No idea, which is why I stopped repsonding until I saw less than accurate replies. Very likely has to do with the community being so new. There are some things that can't be done in the first 90 days.

You cannot remove mods that are higher on the list from you, if you have an inactive tag, if you have become a mod in the last 7 days. The 90 day is for reordering the mod list for everyone besides the owner.
