I think your premise is faulty. We've all been bitching about Dom since the very start (sometimes good naturedly, sometimes less so), and the recent calls have been because of the brigaders, and because his inaction is making this place kind of shitty at times. Yes, some trolls have been calling "mod me," but we all see through that shit, and they get downvoted and laughed at. Don't lump the many people with legitimate criticism in with the trolls and brigaders...who we want stopped, not given power. Everyone's retarded on the internet, but come on, give the community here some credit...we're not that retarded.
Next, although some people have been calling for him to step down (and I do think it could potentially help, personally), the prime call is that we need more mods, and we're pissed that he's not putting one or two trustworthy people who've been around since the beginning in positions as lower level moderators to police the obvious trolls.
So your two core ideas; that the people who want Dom replaced are comparable to the trolls, and that the only thing people are asking for is for Dom to step down...both those things are false.
a coordinated shilling campaign to fill the front page and the new queue with GARBAGE. I see that happening here. How many dozen fucking posts do we need on the brak samurai?
Retarded overexposure to current topic has been a staple going all the way back to half-KiA. It's basic nerd/gaming stuff, and you're not going to get people to stop. Heck, overregulation on content was one of the reasons half-KiA is half-KiA now.
Anyway, serious question...Why aren’t you posting on ConPro?
...Because I'm just not? Don't know much about ConPro, but KiA has always been my prime community. And I want the best for it. And Dom has not been delivering that. He should, as mentioned, at the very least mod another person or two. I stand by that, and that in no way affiliates me with the brigaders who are trying to destroy the site.
Peace.
EDIT: Well, that went to shit fast. The original post, for those curious. Glad we had OP here to keep this forum safe from unnecessary drama!
im more pissed off over his overmodding legitimate users whilst ignoring trolls. If i had to chose i would chose less moderation overall because trolls can be ignored and blocked and i like my free speech. But as it stands its worse than that, there's over moderation and banning of legitimate users just because they notice too much on topics he doesn't like people noticing about , whilst there is also under moderation of trolls.
Yup. I saw someone mentioning it today, but his overmoderation of that one comic is becoming a meme. It was obviously about free speech, he said it was promoting race wars and genocide. You can't have a conversation with the dude, either; he just won't listen, and always doubles down, no matter how many people, or what percent of people here, tell him he's wrong.
Mods should not be engaging in mind reading in their moderation. If there's an actual violation, yeah, sure, moderate that (I think some of the rules are silly and should be rolled back, but some stuff does need moderation), but don't moderate things because you think someone else thought Bad Things, which is why they posted the content that doesn't break the rules. It's absurd. NO MIND READING, DOM.
And calling out Dom's bad and biased modding is not the same as asking him to be replaced.
And, as I said in my comment, even the people who are outright saying he should be replaced, aren't asking him to be replaced by the trolls they're complaining he's not stopping. OP's argument is kind of absurd, and just going for the guilt by association, it seems.
I've been here from the start; Dom is currently failing in many respects, and he needs to step up his game if he's going to insist on being the mod around here.
You've lost the plot on this stuff Graphenium, you need to correct. As someone who's defended you from being called a shill, I think you need to be more discerning in who YOU accuse of being a shill. yoisi is a weeaboo so of course he's obsessed with the black samurai garbage, especially since it ties in three topics he and the forum are interested in, Japan, gaming and niggerfication.
I never have, I'm glad it exists and have plenty in common with it's users, but I prefer the discussion here. I know the users here and have a limited amount of time and interest to devote to forum browsing. That aside you're burning goodwill on schizo posting.
"Lethn's main hobby is verbose whining (though he is absolutely correct about AI), AoV is Tony's nickname. I've been here since day one, I was on Reddit KiA2 since day one, I was on half KiA in it's first week after the r/gaming threads on 5 guys were shut down. Telia is correct as is Graphenium who's also been around for a long time."
Hence the follow up, I didn’t recognize your name (probably because you’ve never posted before and we’ve never interacted in comments) and assumed you were an alt of someone I had interacted with
Admittedly my point was not being made/the answers I was looking for from the users I was looking to hear from would obviously never come, thus the only result of the thread would have been further misunderstandings, so I gotta thank you and kienen for helping me realize that.
Just to clarify, the point was to get people who do post here but not there to really think about why it is that they don’t post there and if they are doing anything to contribute to making this place more like that place. Myself included.

Regardless of how correct any given one of my accusations are - why don’t you post on ConPro any more?
I never have, I'm glad it exists and have plenty in common with it's users, but I prefer the discussion here. I know the users here and have a limited amount of time and interest to devote to forum browsing. That aside you're burning goodwill on schizo posting.
Right? It's often the "no more drama" people who really stir up shit.
If you never have, then how have you “always defended me” lol
"Lethn's main hobby is verbose whining (though he is absolutely correct about AI), AoV is Tony's nickname.

From 14 days ago man.
Hence the follow up, I didn’t recognize your name (probably because you’ve never posted before and we’ve never interacted in comments) and assumed you were an alt of someone I had interacted with
I didn't mean to give that impression, sorry.
Hah, thats purely on me man.
Admittedly my point was not being made/the answers I was looking for from the users I was looking to hear from would obviously never come, thus the only result of the thread would have been further misunderstandings, so I gotta thank you and kienen for helping me realize that.

Reading comprehension, my dude.
He said he's never posted to ConPro. That has nothing to do with whether or not he's defended you here. Stop sperging.
Yeah my bad I assumed the account with zero posts in five years was an alt of someone I’d recognize, crazy right
You okay, dude? That's an active three year old account.
You're way off in some crazy reality, and need to stop.
Witch lover is literally a 5 year old account with zero posts, are you okay dude?
Here, you’re right, what do I care - best of luck
People can post where ever or whenever they want to post, you are not anyone's boss and we don't answer to you
Simple question teli
You can ask your questions but nobody needs to answer you because you are not our boss as i said. So stop acting like a hall monitor
Call me a concerned citizen
It used to have way more traffic than this place until it was “brigaded” into the shitheap of irrelevance
This place also used to have more traffic as well but Dom has banned a lot of legitimate users over the years for too much "noticing"
