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?

Idk, was it necessary to make your name a reference to reddit? My fuckin’ name is assbutt, dude, the bar isn’t very high here. It’s pretty weird to call yourself ‘snoo’ while you go around decrying the evils of reddit.
Come on, are you fuckin’ serious right now? If you create ‘SnooFuckersAnonymous’ then abandon it next week, what the hell are the admins supposed to do with it? According to you, they have to leave it there, empty and unused, forever, instead of letting someone make something out of it. That is asinine beyond words.
For someone who loves reddit enough to adopt the name of their mascot, you sure don’t seem to understand how it worked. You’re acting as if subreddit requests were exclusively hostile takeovers. Part of requesting a sub was proving that you had made every attempt to contact the existing mods.
Transferring ownership to new mods is basic maintenance in a place like this. Nobody is suggesting we steal communities from their owners and hand them out to trolls.
