Randomly a mod after account takeover

[u/alexbooth]

How do I stop being a mod? I just had my account taken over. And after recovery, I’m now a mod of r/idealprotein. I don’t want to be :(

go into mod tools and remove yourself from the moderator list

You can remove yourself as a mod in the mod tools.

Consider making the sub restricted before doing that though so no spam or harmful content can be posted there while no one moderates the sub.

You seem to be the only mod weirdly enough, maybe make a post looking for mods and just add a few people then remove yourself.

[u/PMulberry_ → u/Ehloanna]

The sub is not really active, so I doubt they would find many people. It‘s also likely OP may not know anything about the topic the sub is about (which could make it harder to choose another mod), and people wanting to mod it can do a Reddit Request, so changing it to restricted and then removing themselves probably is better than them trying to look for other mods.

Fair!
