I'd like to leave the mod team, and despite a month of low-key poking around I don't see how that's done.

I'm admin of an instance and wanted to make myself moderator of some communities, because admins can't change banners and icons in communities for some reason. Admins also can't make themselves mods of communities on their instance.

The workaround was create an account, use your main account to make that account a moderator, log back in to that account and then make your main account a moderator.

The options only show up if you make a post (or maybe a comment) in the community you want to moderate/leave.

Appreciated and will do. It does seem just a smidgen more complicated one would expect, eh? :)

Yes, quite annoying.

It should be easier for you, though. If you visit the community you mod, there should be something at the top of the sidebar that says "Leave mod team". I wonder if it only gives you that option if there's more than one moderator. In that case, use the dummy account to be the stand in moderator, maybe?
