On Voat, if I mod or own a sub, I can delete myself. If I've already chosen a mod to take it over, I can change them from a mod to an owner, and if not it comes up with something to the effect of 'You can claim this sub' in place of an owner. Then someone interested can claim the sub by putting in a request for it, and Putt would approve/deny, if I recall correctly. At any rate, any sub could have more than one owner and any mod could remove themselves from a sub.
This isn't a major priority, but I was wondering if we could have the capability to add a secondary owner of a sub, and have the ability to delete ourselves as a mod. Right now, as far as I can see, once you're an owner or mod, you're trapped as such unless you completely delete your user account. An option to delete yourself as a mod would be great. Better would be to allow you to delete yourself and make another the owner in your place.
(Note: am also posting this in Poaldev, as it's the same code with the same issue).
I requested s/sarcasm on voat about a year ago. Never got anything back. Added Rotteuxx as owner with the idea you're talking about implementing... here we have mods that listen and for them it isn't currently worth their time but in the future when they move on they might regret not implementing it.... it makes sense to me I'm with you.
