I moderate the /c/stopdrinking community. The person who created it didn’t want to mod, and so I volunteered. Now the creator has gone inactive and hasn’t been around for for 4 days.

I’d like to update the sidebar, etc, but only the creator seems to be able to do that.

What happens if he never comes back? If he can eventually be removed, what would be a reasonable amount of time to wait?

In the meantime, can an Admin change the sidebar text for me?

    What basis do you have for this? What do you mean “shows up as a bot”? Their history is no more suspect than your own, there’s just less of it.

    I wish everyone would just chill with this shit. It’s been a week, we don’t need hall monitors yet.

      Jeezo, I just want to update the community description.

      No offence, but you come across as a bit stressed.

        This person is claiming you are a bot, and I am asking for evidence to support the accusation. There is nothing deeper here, but thanks for the diagnosis I guess.

        Don’t mistake colorful language for ire. Just because I said “shit” doesn’t mean I’m upset. Imagine The Dude is reading my comment to you with a joint in the corner of his mouth; that’s closer to the tone I had in my head (and it’s not far off from the truth lol). It’s all good, homie 🤙

            So you blindly trust your browser rather than doing any investigation of your own? Maybe glance at the person’s profile next time, see if they behave like a bot before calling them out lol

              I did read their posts and some don’t jive. Also if browsers are mislabeling users, that’s another issue.

                Since when does Edge flag bots? I legitimately have no idea what you’re talking about. I can’t find any information about anything that sounds even remotely close to a baked-in bot flagger in Microsoft Edge.

                You said your work computer, do you know what extensions might be installed?
