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.
