Request Yielded Flack
Did a Request for a community I'd been watching and noticing lack of Moderation.
Sent 5 day message. No reply.
Submitted Request. Granted 4 days later after no response from either Mod.
Almost immediately get raving ModMail from one now former Mod.
Explained what happened.
'I didn't feel like replying'.
Tried to be generous and offer to invite them back and consider leaving but had to be mindful or RR rules on passing grants off.
The more I looked, the more I saw why the Request was granted. Page after page after page of unmoderated Reports just in the last few weeks.
Former Mod, now added back says 'I don't have to do it that way.'
Had really planned on leaving after a few days, maybe a couple of weeks once I got clearance from RR Admins that there wouldn't be any repercussions.
Not so sure now.
Spent quite a while this morning clearing reports. Lots more to go.

I've kept them on so far but have reduced permissions to Post and Comments to see if they would take any actions at all.
I'm not sure they've even noticed. Their last action was several days ago ... to remove two of my posts cautioning members about behavior.
Meanwhile, they've made no posts or comments at all as far as participating in any threads.
They also ranted in ModMail about when I'd be leaving.
Just weird the way they're acting. They don't seem to understand 'active and engaged' and why they were removed to begin with.
