View submission: Introducing Subreddit Forking
From answering questions from new mods on help subs it seems that some don't know everything they're signing up for when they create a community.
It says "Community names including capitalization cannot be changed" in the community creation workflow (though it could be more noticeable, and I don't see it in the picture here - is it not there on mobile?) but could it also say that subs cannot be deleted and that moderating a community is a commitment but help is provided (there are the community building cards which are helpful)?

subs cannot be deleted
Wow, really? Seems like that would be pretty useful in some cases. I can imagine it would save a lot of trouble for all involved if the mod(s) of an inactive or dead sub could delete it. Then it wouldn't be as necessary for Reddit Admin to do huge cleanup sweeps like that last one they did.
