MODERATORS
 

@[email protected] has created 80+ communities here, most of which are empty save for a "Looking for moderators" post. Some have 0-3 posts which are nearly all from the creator and a couple have some regular user activity.

I recognize that this may not be against the rules as long as it's not simply for the purpose of squatting on a name but is worth observing for future developments. It does not appear that this user intends to actively moderate since they're looking to hand those communities off as soon as they're created.

That person looks like they might be a Brand name squatter, they have Communities that don't really make any sense at all i.e. Pepsico and American Express, seems like those would be more valuable to advertisers than to users.
