Is there a limit on how many subs you can mod? Per your IP address....

If someone creates a ring of porn subverses, isn't there a chance that said subserves will just go unused. Then, after a month, someone new could just request the subverse transferred to them? I think we're fine. I just don't want a situation where one would have to be a reddit style power mod to start a new verse. That doesn't have a very free feel to it.

I don't like the idea of being required to be a power mod either, but I think that the requirement of being an active member of the Voat community isn't harmful. Though you do bring a good example of a slippery slope to the argument: If one is required to reach a certain amount of CCP before becoming a mod, then what stops the next logical step, that bring power mods, as you've said. It's an interesting point of concern, where the admins will have to balance and tune it well.

Agreed. Some names are worth ignoring. Randompicporn for example is lame.

There are good things and bad things that could come from this:
Good:
It would be harder for people to become anonymous powermods. Like having multiple accounts that are spread across many subverses (Ex. SRS mods all have a name "Archangelle", KiA noticed this and one of the thoughts about them all having the same name was simply to remain anonymous outside of any SRS related subreddits.)
It would show proof of investment in the community. Hell, you might even get better mods from it if you make them work for it.
Bad:
This sort of system could possibly make it difficult to start up a new community. Smaller subverses might not benefit from this because it's hard enough starting it up, but making barriers just to be a moderator might hurt a subverse that wants to grow without this single moderator being overwhelmed. He'll hire other mods, but it could be a slow process getting the necessary number of mods. Unless maybe once the founding user creates the subverse he/she could set a threshold for becoming a mod within their subverse? This is purely speculation.
This encourages a want for CCP which is good and all, but it's been said before that this could be a bad thing because people might just comment purely for the CCP instead of contributing something to the conversation at hand. Again, speculation.
Overall, I like the idea and I'd love to see how it'd play out.

Hi, I created this account to mod NSFW subverses. I do want to have my internet accounts separate just if some crazed prude decides to call my employer. Like this I was able to create subverses that were missing, and I can contribute there and be a participating member of voat community. I think limiting that potential would only harm voat.

I agree. I think when you're old enough to downvoat you are old enough to create or request transfer subverses. Until then, users should contribute to the site via comments and get to know the culture here.

Freedom of speech and rational discussion. That's Voat in six words.
