Do we have a mechanism to deal with absent mods yet? (kbin.social)

Title is hopefully self-explanatory. During the early growth, there were a number of examples of users setting up magazines based on popular Reddit subs but then losing their initial enthusiasm for kbin.

I'm an active user of one such sub, which has taken off in the last few weeks after a slow start, but where the only mod hasn't been seen in over a month. How do we either replace them or get additional mods added, when there's no way to get in contact with them in the first place?

This question seems to be asked at least once a week. I think the answer is "no".

Part of the problem is that Kbin itself is only a few months old, and isn't full-featured yet. I expect mechanisms for handling inactive accounts, moderators, and magazines will eventually be implemented.

In the meantime, if there is a need for moderation in a particular magazine and the moderator is inactive, consider reaching out to Ernest or starting a new magazine that you can more actively moderate.
