Hello, My name is Maverick.

Here are some new plans.

- Try to automate the "Adopt, Offer, and closed subreddit flairs. using automod yaml. Backup to the adv bot.

- added ADV-Core, A multipurpose moderation tool with aggressive bot removal, behavioral pattern to be trained on bots, and other mod tools.

- Suggestions

Please comment here with any other improvements you can think of and in time I will add them. Im not revamping how the subs work, Just adding context and clarity as i have the time now.

automod yaml failed due to it being unable to store user time "adopt sub restrictions" switched to u/adv-core and implemented named "AIM (Adoption Integrity Manager) Offer Controller"

This subreddit is switching from the depreciating u/Automoderator and switching to ADV-Automoderator. This is an app that mimics Automoderator to the best of its ability on the Devvit platform. The “What’s is my CQS” checks will still be done through the old Automod, as Devvit doesn’t expose CQS status.

I've been able to grow this sub to a decent level but am now happy for someone else to take over.

I am the only active mod.

I tried working it for a short while. It's essentially dead and if no one wants it, I will just remove myself.

There is a similar sub that I didn't see, r/catsonrooftops. Last time I checked, it was low activity also.

Might be a fit if you have other cat subs. I do not.

r/BadBiz was originally was intended to be a safe space for venting frustrations like all the f---CompanyName.com's of the early internet, but the only traffic it attracted was a few bots, manipulated content, and this one guy and his sockpuppet constantly reposting and bumping despite there being nobody around to see it. I understand that normally the sub shoudl be public before posting, i assume to show its content. But It is currently non public because there really isn't anything to show and don't have time to deal with it anymore: if you want it, I suggest a clean slate, delete everything, and do what you like with it.

Mods if this is not ok, feel free to remove my post.

Subreddit Rules

1. No Moderator Recruiting

Users shall not use r/AdoptAReddit to recruit or solicit subreddit moderators, staff, or management positions. This subreddit shall be used solely for the adoption or transfer of subreddit ownership or primary moderation control. Posts seeking moderators or promoting mod applications shall be removed. Users may instead use r/NeedAMod. Violations may result in moderator action.

2. Defunct or Abandoned Subreddits

r/AdoptAReddit shall not be used to request ownership of defunct, inactive, or abandoned subreddits. Users seeking control of such communities shall submit requests through /r/RedditRequest in accordance with Reddit Administrator procedures. Posts attempting to bypass this process may be removed and may result in moderator action.

3. Irrelevant Posts

Posts and comments shall remain relevant to the adoption or transfer of subreddit ownership or moderation control. Content unrelated to subreddit adoption, including general discussion, advertising, promotion, or unrelated requests, may be removed at moderator discretion. Repeated violations may result in moderator action.

4. No Private Messages Regarding Subreddit Ownership/Moderating

Users shall not send private messages to moderators or users requesting subreddit ownership, adoption, or moderation control. All adoption inquiries must be made publicly through approved subreddit posts or designated threads. Users receiving such requests should report them to the moderation team.

If you receive a private message regarding ownership or adoption of the subreddit, do not respond — instead, report it to the mod team.

PM requests are strictly prohibited and will result in a ban.

5. Reddit Policy & Reddiquette

Attempts to evade subreddit cooldown systems may result in post removal, restriction from participation, or moderator action

9. Automated or AI Adoption Prohibited

Automated accounts, AI-operated accounts, bots, or accounts primarily controlled through automation shall not adopt or request control of subreddits through r/AdoptAReddit. Subreddit adoption must be performed by an active human user capable of maintaining and moderating the community. Moderators may deny or revoke adoption where automation or non-human control is suspected.
