I regard Dom as nothing more than the social media equivalent of a domain squatter at this point. At the very least I'd much rather this whole community get deleted to kind of force the users to move on rather than giving him this weird unearned power he has over everybody because it's like people want something done but they don't want leave for somewhere else and they don't want to depose him either. Yet realistically, the guy does absolutely nothing other than use his modding powers against people he personally doesn't like.
I'm convinced he barely even browses this community even a little bit going by his comments and how he seems to be completely ignorant of the gore spam now popping up constantly. Then again, he seems to mysteriously be able to find people he doesn't like within five seconds and bans them no problem.
I hope we see a FishyMan situation and the guy just gets booted out because a point I've been frequently making this guy is making admins liable with the kind of targeted spam that's coming in here.

Well, frankly, that's retarded.

Sadly, seems correct.
...he seems to be completely ignorant of the gore spam now popping up constantly...
He's not ignorant; he's the one removing most of it...eventually. He knows what's out there, he just wants to pretend he has everything under control, because he's like a giga-autist or something.
Then again, he seems to mysteriously be able to find people he doesn't like within five seconds and bans them no problem.
Again, he does all of his modding whenever he's around; he'll take out the users he doesn't like, as well as the actual bad faith trolls at the same time.
That's one thing I will continue to defend Dom on; the people who say he mods regulars more or faster than he does the trolls...that's just false. After significant delay, he'll get on and do both at the same time.
You seem to have a misunderstanding about how the communities work, even though you mention domain squatting which is a somewhat good analogy. Whoever creates the community owns it. The site admins will (pretty much) not ever under any circumstance transfer it to another user unless the person is flagrantly violating scored policy, which could include doing zero moderation. Dom waiting hours to mod content whether borderline or against policy gives him plausible deniability that he's trying and not intentionally sabotaging the place.
FishyMan was only put in charge of gaming for a minute because the other mod had a temper tantrum like a whiny baby. He wasn't the owner of the community.
tl;dr you cannot beg admins to transfer ownership to someone else and there's no such thing as "deposing him".
