@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons. Now is your chance to get involved, if you were waiting to do so.

To request ownership/moderator privileges, scroll down to where it says "MODERATORS" in the sidebar. There will be an icon of a hand pointing upwards that you can click on, then make the request. Cheers, and thank you for your hard work Ernest, as well as future mods.

Ernest, please act on assigning mods to any of the magazines where you are the sole mod. The spam on those is significant and there are people willing to help. E.g. m/internet

Make sure to actually mention him if you want this to be seen. @ernest

Yep, another way is to choose abandoned from the list of magazines, soon it will be more sensibly sorted ;)

There's a 'jailbait' mag there that should just be deleted.

[–] bluGill@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Seems like names like that should be in a 'if you create the mag you are automatically banned ).

[–] daredevil@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've taken care of it. 🙂

@daredevil hey how did you get rid of it altogether?

I just noticed we had a "frenworld" (copy of a subreddit that was notoriously racist, antisemitic etc) and requested ownership thinking I could delete it but now it's listed as a magazine I mod and I can't seem to either delete it or detatch myself from it. I don't want it listed under mags I mod! Help!

If memory serves the option is at the very bottom under the first page of the magazine panel.

[–] livus@kbin.social 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@PugJesus you mean the Delete button? I hit that but all it did was change it to a "Restore" button.

I think this means people get "Empty" when they visit @frenworld. But the racist magazine is still listed on my profile as a magazine I moderate, which is the last thing I want.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Hm. The ones I deleted are removed from my profile.

I assume ownership requests need to be manually approved by ernest, right? I've tried applying to some (not ernest-managed ones) weeks ago because of spam on them and nothing happened yet.
