Someone here already has 12 subs on his own. We would be inspired to avoid the era of the power mods. Moding should involve an interest, not just collecting rings of infinity like it’s a gold rush. How can it be a good practice in the long term?

    I think a larger issue is what amounts to domain squatting.

    People either recreating popular subs or creating magazines of the type of content they would like to read and then not providing any themselves.

    People who come across a made yet empty mag can understandable be discouraged from contributing just for somebody else (who hasn’t shown commitment to the community) to be able to control it.

    Effectively it’s absentee landlordism to stake claim to names and wait for posts to come.

    Perhaps a better approach would be to delete magazines with no posts so that names would always be available to people who would use them.

      Hard agree. Already seeing someone make 30+ magazines with 0 subscribers aside from themselves.
