Heads Up: Manual User Verification in Progress
It has come to my attention that something happened in the sub with approval being required for new and even some existing users without my knowledge in recent weeks. I am taking steps to resolve this now but I ask that you kindly bear with me as I’m disabled, have lost 3 of my 4 immediate family members in a short time, have multiple other life altering issues I’m dealing with, and I am the only mod in a sub that I have worked hard to help grow to over 20k. Just trying to let you all know I’m truly doing the best I can atm.
Here’s an excerpt of a message I sent to the first person I saw in the manual approval list just a short time ago:
“Sorry, I've been extremely sick lately and just saw this. Not sure what happened here but I approved you just now. It's a lot to manage a sub that's has grown this large and I do it alone and it was never supposed to be that way when it was handed off to me and another mod a few years ago who is no longer with us. If you yourself (or know of anyone else) who would be willing to help mod the sub please feel free to Imk. Have a great day.”
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused anyone and I am working actively to fix it. I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while we get this sorted out and thank you for bearing with me during this process while working to resolve this matter. I deal with so much behind the scenes work that it often takes a toll on me being me able to provide the community facing engagement level where I would like for it to be. We need one or two more mods so there can be shared and delegated duties. If anyone is interested in that please feel free to lmk as I stated above.
Thank you and my apologies for the long post.
