Admins should not intervene in the non default subverses. Much as I know the community desires admin intervention here, /v/niggers is NOT a default subverse, and much as I'm sure members of the community who frequent it dislike the road it has gone down, I think that admins intervening in user managed subs is something that should be avoided. We are not reddit, and yet the suggestion of admin intervention into a sub's administration does sound quite a bit like the actions we all left that place for.
At the same time, I recognize that completely destroying a sub, even one that I find dispicable, through inaction, thanks to what seems likely to be a sold account, is not a good solution either. As such, I propose intervention take place, and the offending account removed if deemed necessary by the community the account moderates, BUT; prior to this action, we should set in place ground rules like those governing the abandoned sub transfers on /v/subverserequest. One that recognizes situations where a mod has overstepped their bounds, say by attempting to transform an active subverse into a RADICALLY different community (notice I said ACTIVE. User Arotaes_forgehammer changed /v/dice to a sub about gaming dice, rather than Andrew dice clay. Dice was inactive at the time, there's nothing wrong with this). Once these ground rules are in place, it will ensure that future scenarios like this are handled smoothly, and it will ALSO give the admins more accountability, as the decision to make these subverse changes will be primarily in the hands of the users of said community. Sure, it ends up being you guys who actually make the transfer, but if we have another case like this, and it meets these established conditions (that need to be crowdsourced), we as the users can rest easy knowing that you will make the required leadership change, while, at the same time, not being able to make a change purely for your personal ideological reasons without raising a SERIOUS red flag and having another /v/videos situation that ISN'T someone crying wolf.
