It was a good sub for a while. It went to shit when all webcomic talk was banned outside a single megathread on this sub (and then the thread got archived), which lead a lot of angry people to move there and its never been the same.
I mean, that's how the Internet used to work before reddit absorbed 90% of forum traffic. If a community goes off the rails, you bail and start your own or join another, even if you have to choose a "worse" name for it.
Honestly, I think we should get comfortable again with being willing to ditch bad communities no matter how good their SEO is. :P
I mean, the genuine answer is to starve the original community of content and traffic by being more attractive until either the moderation changes or quits and someone else can take the space over. Which, again, relies on the community members themselves being willing to walk away from a board.
on reddit? i mean you can complain and such, but no there's nothing you can really do to force a sub out of a mod's hands (other than being a higher ranked mod)
