You don’t need financial knowledge to mod a sub, you just need to be fair in enforcing a set of rules (civility, off topic posts, etc). And yeah, most will likely just be people reporting stuff that you’d need to respond to.
I try to report as much as I can, but I’m not interested in being a mod because I’m lazy and will probably never look at the reports. I’m happy to generate content because that only requires occasional effort.
ok, i added you as a mod, although the existing mod @WandererLagomorph799 is not entirely inactive - they posted 7 days ago.
now you get to decide about the offtopicness of this landlord thread (posted by the same OP as this thread) which is currently the most active thread here :)
(it has been getting many reports for being offtopic, which i’ve ignored because there was a pretty active discussion by the time i saw the first report.)
So, slight hiccup, I’m not showing as a mod on my instance. The sync issues are supposed to be fixed with 18.4, but it’s still not syncing my moderator status. @pdxfed has said they would retry after the next version upgrade. Or it might automatically sync after a few days.
I had the same issue on one of my communities. Not a big deal for me, but if it’s an issue for you, you can always create an alt on LW and use it to moderate
