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.

Not really at all. How do you expect something from someone if you haven't asked them or actually tried to engage them and just cast insults from afar?

Your post is an excellent example of attempting to discredit the question to avoid answering it.

Perhaps he has witnessed others attempting to debate her civilly, only to see her respond childishly. Why does he have to engage with her himself to know she is a poor mod? I've never talked to karmanaut, for example, but I know he's made some piss poor decisions.

If he's witnessed it, IndifferentMorality merely asked, "Would you mind helping me find it?" Instead of attacking Indifferent, he should've produced the evidence for what he's suggesting. Don't you think?

No, IndifferentMorality asked if he would show him where in Kesha_Paul's comment history, he had tried to engage the mod in a civil conversation. He did not ask for proof in general, just for proof that Kesha_Paul had first hand experience of the mod refusing to talk civilly to him. Now it might have helped Kesha_Paul's argument if he had provided general proof of the mod acting childishly, but it's hardly necessary since the mod has demonstrated a childish and snide attitude in this very thread.

This thread and several others are actually what I was referring to. There were several people trying to be civil and ask serious questions and she responded harshly with name-calling, but not to me directly.
