KIA2 is currently the online community that I spend the most time on (albeit as a lurker), aside from being an active member & mod at FCW.

As a somewhat outsider, here are my observations on the issue.

There seems to be a stalemate here between the mod & much of the community.

There are two goals many of the members here have in regards to modding:

(1) quicker bans of the pedo troll and other trolls like him, and,

(2) more hands-off modding in regards to actual political discussion

From the previous thread on this topic, Dom agreed that (1) is important.

The stalemate seems to boil down to a difference of opinions on (2), unless I'm missing something.

Dom seems reluctant to bring on more mods, and taking a guess based on what he said in a prior thread, perhaps that's because the new mod(s) might act counter to how he wants the community modded (e.g., potential abuse of power by the new mods, potential difference of opinions on what ought to be removed, etc.).

In one of the threads about this a while back, someone had offered to take on a mod role and use their mod power to only address (1), but from Dom's perspective perhaps that could still serve to open the door for someone to act against his wishes once they have mod powers.

Those wanting Dom to be replaced by the Scored admins aren't likely to have much success. We went through that with Ham on Omega, and it's why FCW was created instead.

Some ways this could play out:

(a) Dom himself could decide that he no longer wants to be here and leave,

(b) Dom & the community find a way to peacefully co-exist (at minimum this would probably require at least one new mod being appointed whom is mostly hands-off),

(c) the community slowly dwindles in membership, or,

(d) the members create a new community.

I could be misjudging the situation, but from my perspective, if things remain as they currently are, then (c) seems most likely, followed by (d).

As a side note, I don't think continuously making new threads about this is going to have the desired effect, and without anything else happening to resolve the issue, these threads will probably serve to accelerate outcome (c).

Perhaps an alternative would be to come up with a list of potential mods whom are willing and are agreeable to both most of the community along with Dom.
