@JPthePirate has created their account 2 months ago (like many redditfugees) and created 40+ communities, only to never log back in. The communities are for the most part empty and completely unmoderated - and a lot of them are “brand names” like the names of videogame studios (!bethesda, !blizzard, !devolverdigital, !activision) and somewhat popular videogames like !cultofthelamb and !diablo4.

Would it be possible to delete the ones that are completely empty anyway so that users who actually want to do something with those communities are able to create them from scratch?

    About the moderation guidelines …

    • Please create a sidebar with some contents, at least a description of the community and some extra rules when applicable

    They did not do that even after 2 months.

    • Adding a banner and icon for the community makes it prettier. Please do.

    They also did not do that, even tho it is an action that takes all of five minutes to do.

    • Every community needs enough moderators.

    The only mod is simply not present, so noone is actually moderating.

    People are a lot less likely to participate in a community if the first thing you notice is that the creator doesn’t give a sh*t about it. And like I explained in another comment, “regular” users can not fix this - only a mod can add a banner, the sidebar, rules, featured posts etc. so even on the off chance that someone decides to post there despite the first bad impression, the community will continue to have that first bad impression anyway.
