If you manage to get control of that subreddit. I would just restrict posting or make it private.
Satire always invites trolls in the name of satire and with a subreddit name like that it’s only inevitable.

Yeah taking something like this and using it as a satire sub seems like it could easily just take a turn towards being some sour shit.

Thanks for submitting this request! It’s been flagged for manual review (not a bad thing!). This might delay a decision by a couple weeks. In the meantime, please politely [message the moderators of r/straightpride](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=%2Fr%2Fstraightpride&message=Hi%21%0A%0AI%20noticed%20the%20subreddit%20could%20use%20a%20helping%20hand.%20I%27d%20be%20happy%20to%20help%20mod%20the%20sub%20and%20make%20sure%20there%20isn%27t%20any%20content%20that%20might%20break%20Reddit%27s%20%5Bcontent%20policy%5D%28https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fhelp%2Fhealthycommunities%2F%29%20and%20that%20the%20community%20continues%20to%20stay%20true%20to%20its%20purpose.%20I%20would%20also%20like%20to%20help%20grow%20the%20subreddit%20if%20you%20don%27t%20have%20as%20much%20time%20to%20login%20as%20you%27d%20like.%20%0A%0AThank%20you%21&subject=I%27m%20interested%20in%20moderating%20%2Fr%2Fstraightpride) and reply to this comment with a link to that message. Only you, the mods of r/straightpride, and some admins will be able to view the message content. Including a link to this message will help speed the process along.

So, I would like to be a moderator of r/straightpride. The subreddit was snagged sometime back as a way to prevent it from being used for homophobia and other LBGTQ prejudice. Largely it was supposed to be a satire subreddit and has clear rules that homophobia/transphobia would not be tolerated.
However, rules are not being followed and there's been an increase of trolls. Despite contacting them via mod mail and reporting transgressions, there's been no action from the moderators as far as I know in over 90 days.
As moderator, I intend to keep to the spirit of the previous moderators intentions, and actually moderate and remove comments that break the rules of the sub.

Damn, I hope you get it. Being proactive to keep that crap off Reddit is a noble goal.

Hopefully this link works?

This is genius. When I worked at Disneyland a few friends and I made strait pride tshirts once gay pride was a Disney day . It was cool to interact with other pride shirts and have it not be taken as an attack . I’m so behind this subreddit!

You wont be approved since there’s still an active mod, u/bodom2245.
Oh, damnit, I read it as 'subreddit' and not reddit in general. That's depressing as hell, since I've contacted the mods five days ago with no word and there's been no moderation on the subreddit in question.
Yeah, it can be frustrating sometimes forsure. I was just letting you know as getting a response here usually takes about 2 weeks and I didn’t want you to be waiting for no reason.
You could try messaging the active mod and if he’s willing too he could maybe apply to be the main mod and then he could bring you on as a mod, but other then that I don’t believe there’s anything you could do.
