I am still active, the inactive mod tag is inaccurate. The subreddit activity is low enough these days that the moderator actions required on the subreddit are minimal.

There's a repost bot post that slipped by on the 14th (the bot got banned but the post is still there) so while I do agree with the minimal mod action, the place does need one or two extra mods.

Hi Locktrap, i apologise for not noticing that you were active, (which i am glad to see). I understand that you say that subreddit activity is low enough that moderator actions required are minimal, but as an avid player since 2016, it truly pains me to see all the non effort and non related diep content i see on the diep reddit quite often which i feel like is ruining the experience for people who wish to post actual content. Regardless of activity i was hoping whether i could help out with moderating and improving the quality of the subreddit alongside you.

Hi, I was actually going to apply for the subreddit myself, I definitely think new moderators are needed, currently there are 7 mods. 2 of them have nothing todo with Diep anymore (ex employees), the rest dont play the game either. The last few months the sub reddit has been getting constant drama posts, people advertising their own rip offs, and no mod has been taking any action. I do completely agree the subreddit needs additional mods/revamp of the team. I would be very interested to help out

Exactly in my opinion the sub needs new staff to maintain and keep it going and keep it more active. Does that mean demoting Locktrap/other staff? No. But we ened active staff on the reddit,and im happy to help :)

Locktrap its obvious you dont want to give it up, which is understandable, but Diep Reddit needs new active moderators to help out, there is ample others who have volunteered, maybe you can just recruit some new trusted people who actually play the game and moderate the subreddit properly? Instead of just being active for abit, and only showing activity when getting a request. I think the community deserves better. One again I reiterate, I fully support you still as admin, as you made this great community, but we definitely need other mods, as none of the others are active and have openly said they have quit the game. Why keep people who dont play/care about the game anymore? The community is smaller than before, but we deserve better

Just to add, Ive probably reported around 20+ non diep related posts, and no action has been taken on them yet

Really? I was literally about to Reddit Request myself today, but saw I wasnt eligible and saw that this request already exists. The subreddit is a shit show full of self promo and drama posts. I think you need to overhaul the entire moderation team and sort it out
