If there’s no posts how is it abandoned? They could be waiting for posts, start posting before claiming it’s abandoned.

It’s only empty since you also don’t post mate.

What’s there to mod until there’s some content and users to mod? Just taking over a community isn’t going to suddenly make people active mate. Gotta fix problem one before barking about moderation.

You said it yourself, dead communities. They aren’t dead from moderation issues.

And moderating is more than just deleting posts for whatever reason. Banner, sidebar, rules, news, featured posts, advertising the community elsewhere, interacting with different instances etc. is also part of that, and a mod that hasn’t logged in since the day they created their account is not doing any of these.

All of this has to be done before user-generated content shows up, or at least soon after. What the communities got instead, are 2 months of inactivity.

  They need content to work with, can’t put lipstick on a non-existent pig.
  
  A lot of active communities have non of those things you mentioned… so how does that work…?
