Hi all, I wanted to let you know about an incident that happened a few days back. An individual requested to become a mod on c/Portland when they thought there was no moderators due to a federation issue. Then, an admin mistakenly made them a mod.

I reached out to the admins to let them know I was upset by such a mistake happening on their part. I also de-modded the individual, but tried to encourage them to make a post getting input from all of you about becoming a mod. I’m honestly not against them becoming a mod.

I think having more mods would actually help this place grow. If you’ve posted here at least a few times, and are interested in volunteering, nominate yourself below.

I doubt anyone will have any red flags to call out, but if you do contact me about it or post.

Thanks all. I hope you were able to stay cool these past few days.

    Absolutely. The way that sub is run is suspicious. Almost like they’re trying to “keep up appearances” about the city.

      I got that feeling too. It was odd. And not the good Portland odd, just the weird neighbor odd.
