This is the big reason I thought it might be a good idea to find a way to promote a "co-leader" to these groups, with full priveledges. Someone who can make decisions to promote members, etc. If the current leader doesn't get the hint after having a "mentor", then the "group" could go ahead with whatever "ousting" needed to be done. I've submitted waymarks to a couple of categories that fall into what TBT is talking about. One member...not the leader...keeping the category viable. Perhaps in that instance, promoting that individual to "co-leader" would make sense. They obviously care about the category. Then decisions would be back in the hands of "Us Users" and the "democratic process" would be alive and well in waymarking.
