Something I’ve seen pointed out is that if Reddit ultimately does shift to a more “democratic” model of voting mods in and out, that could easily be abused by bot farms or for nefarious purposes. Everything about the future direction the site is heading sounds bleak and barely what it once was.

Like with a lot about Reddit, things have been implemented that sounds good on paper but little thought has been given to the consequences.

As for the electing mods/vox populi....[barf]
