Why I am requesting r/fsbo and how I'll run it:

I am passionate about real estate and the for sale by owner process (FSBO) and would like to revive the sub, set rules, build it and create an environment useful to the community. I have, in the past received helpful information and I would like for the sub to become a valuable resource for others navigating the FSBO process.

Do you work in the industry or have other interests that could conflict?

I will help them get set up and get the sub functioning again.

The moderator(s) have been absent. The main mod was banned within the last year. The remaining mod accounts are all at 1 karma or less than 10. Users are complaining of a lack of moderator action in approving new posts and the sub has declined. (I think this is pertinent and not drama but if it is determined to be and removed, I understand.)

I also sent a mod message to help out but got no response.

No. and No.

But looking at the sub, you are allowing a commercial user to spam, and crosspost from his commercial real estate sub almost daily, so I'm kind of confused why you have concerns about mods yet have no rules, (beyond Reddit's), to manage/restrict the behavior of users.

The sub appears to be unmoderated, which is why we've inquired about it.

This sub is really susceptible to people who have an agenda, or work in the industry, so we need to be really careful about who is a moderator. We can certainly consider adding a mod, but we need information on that mod. I didn’t realize the main mod was banned-I was worried that he died!

So, you haven't been active, either. None of the mods has. No one is answering modmails.

It would have been nice if the other mods would have been told that the main mod was banned. I'd suggest Reddit notify other mods if the main mod is banned. How do we get a new main mod set up?

Once the main mod is cleared up I don't anticipate any issues. I'm willing to be the main mod. We can also set up the Moderator Recruitment so we can add to the mod team.

Please note that this topic, fsbo, is controversial and people come in with hot opinions and argue with passion. Also, lots of industry professionals try to hijack conversations or promote themselves. It isn't a happy unicorns and puppies kind of community.

Please make me the main mod since we just learned the old main mod was banned. Thank you.

u/DealFlimsyReborn 10d ago

Can I suggest that this user dm a moderator to ask to be included? We don't know him/her. Thank you.

We've been moderating this sub without logging in-I only login if I see the need to remove a post, and that doesn't happen much. I will be more diligent about logging in so it doesn't look like this sub is not being moderated. I will let the other mods know as well. Thank you.

Same with me. I don’t think we need help, but I’m open to the right person.

Who do you think should be the main mod?
