So I was looking for a community to post a link to and I came accross:

What are our thoughts on this, and do we have a way to release such communities if that's what's wanted?

To your points

  1. This is not a community that they want to use, and have stated as such therefore removal is not a loss to them.

  2. If the admins take it and give it to other mods I see it as a gain to the community, because the current mods are being jerks and stopping other people using this server.

  3. I personally have no issue with admins taking groups off malicious mods. In the Reddit situation it was dumb that the mods honestly thought that going dark was going to work. If I decided to be a cunt on Feddit UK and register all available groups from aa to zzzzzzzzz so any group that hadn't been claimed was under my control, I have absolutely no expectation that the Admins wouldn't take it off me and give it to someone who wasn't being a complete twat. This is their server that they are being extremely lovely and allowing us to have a chat on, and while they are great people you cannot expect them to put up with everything.
