How does
let you do this? Just one mod gets froggy and suddenly the whole subreddit gets to be Hinkleland? I don't moderate any subreddits so this I actually don't know.-

You can appeal to Reddit to take over a community if it "appears" a community is going "unmoderated". I have no idea what they do internally to identify a subreddit that is "unmoderated" but it would appear to be pretty easy to do, since it seems to happen pretty regularly.
-
I bet the people taking it over post rule breaking content and then report the subreddit to admins. If it's a small sub with little activity and the mods aren't checking constantly, it would be pretty easy to make it look like mods aren't active

They are supposed to look at mod activity, when they were last active, etc. If you mod a community and you haven't logged in for a while and/or there is rule breaking activity that gets to the admins before you get to it, they will give the sub to someone else if someone appeals for it. I was given control of the sub for a music festival in my city (against my wishes lol) when I complained about someone spamming porn and no one doing anything about it to the admins. I just wanted them to deal with it, and they did that by giving me the sub, even though I didn't ask for it.
So, in theory, if those mods weren't active for a few weeks (or they got banned), and someone did a bunch of rule breaking posts/comments, someone could have come in and requested control.

The normal rule is that if no moderator has been online for 2 months you can have it. Even if that moderator isn't doing any moderation. Sometimes they just waive it and hand over a sub to some rando.

Basically you can remove any mods who were added after yourself and also mods that have been inactive for a certain amount of time

here’s something to ask them: why aren’t you actually a socialist?
