I want to step down as moderator and have someone else take over. Can I do that? How?

Question

I already have a co-moderator but he doesn't want to take over the group. I have a member who DOES want to become moderator, and I need to figure out if I can make him moderator, or if the group would need to be deleted and re-started by him.

Answer 1

if you're the owner, you can do what ever you want, but if you're a moderator, you may be limited to what priviledges you have. one priv is to *Add, remove, and change moderator privileges*. if you don't have that, you cannot add another

You can do whatever you want to do. You're not being paid or forced to be a mod, so just say, "Hey, if no one else wants the job, then good luck and peace out."
