But let down vote anyone willing to take the job, serious long time posters, or sporadic jackass like me. Because anyone who ask for the job will be bad at it. Thus, we must choose at complete random.
I’m kidding, what should happen is everyone complains about Dom but continues to attack anyone wasn’t to position.
I've seen some decent candidates suggested. u/Kienan, u/Assassin47, u/Smith1980, and u/Ahaus667 are all good choices. I'd be suspicious about anyone who's too eager, although merely volunteering isn't what I'd call too eager. IMO the best way to do it is to have a nomination thread. Anyone who's nominated who absolutely doesn't want the job can decline it and it avoids the problem of people volunteering and arousing suspicion.
Looking at that list, I've got it. Just give everyone who's been here at least 2-3 years mod powers.
It's an eclectic enough mix that add/remove comment wars would result in an equilibrium, but bad faith handshakes would get nuked from orbit.
What's the worst that could happen?
