I feel any communities/magazines that get abandoned (e.g. let's close this one down so we can funnel all the traffic to another place) should be deleted by admins and allowed to be claimed by someone else.
I'm not a fan of domain squatting, so there needs to be I feel some admin input when it comes to contested magazines. In the gold rush that is the reddit Exodus, what's stopping people from people squatting on good names and then never posting content
This whole situation feels messy and I'm not entirely sure what would make it better for everyone
Anyone can read the modlog, and admins have deleted commies that were abandoned, modless, etc. I don't think they even need to do that for [email protected] though. They just need mods that aren't squatting.
This is one of those situations where a few people are going to walk away unhappy.
