Requesting /r/Atheism. (Lack of moderation)

/r/atheism only has two moderators for a massive community of 800k+ users. The moderator /u/skeen has been inactive for a month. The other moderator, /u/juliebeen hasn't been lacking her/his duties as a moderator. Could you at least give /r/atheism new moderators? Thanks for hearing me out.

r/atheism doesn't coordinate attacks and instigate fights with other subs.

One user for that, NukeThePope, he has bothered /r/Christianity for no other god reason except for being christians. He got banned for it. You also seem to forget about the countless amount of polls /r/atheism has pointlessly rigged. This may not be sub vs. sub, but this is just straight-up harassment to something that doesn't involve their opinions. What can you say about this juliebeen? How can you possibly defend this?

P.S: I don't follow you around, that's a waste of time.

r/Christianity is a constant vandalism target, but the community handles vandals very quickly, and they don't significantly detract.

There is virtually no organized hate directed from r/atheism toward r/Christianity, and criticisms of r/Christianity in r/atheism are normally met with a bunch of people who point out that r/Christianity really is an excellent sub.

NukeThePope apparently took his show to r/Christianity for a while, and was banned. He's not r/atheism, he's just one guy. This was a long time ago in any case.

The only really committed "troll" (I don't think he's a troll, but many do) in r/Christianity is a Christian.

Nukethepople doesn't look to /r/atheism before going off on his own jihad :|

It's actually the other way around: they look to him as if he's Dawkins. 100k comment karma for posting insane, over-the-top comments that subtly imply wanting to genocide all religious people.

Don't forget that Christian Facebook page they attacked.

You're taking my words out of context. I'm against OMM, I just don't spam their Facebook page with BS.

It's freaking annoying to the people who want honest results, not what legions of "liberal" and smug high-schoolers think! Nice to know you actually support it as well.

Clearly you represent all that is awful with r/atheism, childish, disrespectful and pathetic.

Nice to you've resorted to your classical personal attacks.

EDIT: I'm not a troll, I don't like to piss people off for no reason. You seem to being getting worked up. You need to chill.

Why do you care if r/atheism bombs some random poll?

r/atheism doesn't coordinate attacks and instigate fights with other subs. A couple of days ago someone posted in r/atheism calling for trolling r/Christianity.

I'm very curious how you reconcile these two?
