Generally, it can start by people nominating others they think would make a decent choice. I could think of a few names off the top of my head.
Something else to consider is that, if the site works the way I think it does, Dom should be able to maintain admin in the event of an emergency situation.
Yes just get someone who's been on here forever and doesn't ask for it.
I get the theory.
But how does one get selected as a candidate without applying or volunteering?
Are we instituting a lottery or a draft?

That actually makes sense and is an avenue I hadn't considered.
Of course, such a nomination process could be easily gamed as well.
Thats how we tried doing it on c/gaming after the mod threw a fit and left. Too bad the admins completely ignored the nomination threads.
