Who says the elections are going to be fair? From what I know about Spez they aren't going to be.

Oh, what's this? Our new hire just got 500k votes in just 5 minutes. What a popular person, they will be a great mod.

Bold of you to assume that Reddit would want to spend money on moderator hires. They'd just recruit some fake-power-hungry bootlicker who will follow, for free, the admins' instructions.

Somehow I just don't think I'd trust that voting system....

Are you suggesting that it could get corrupted, so as to favor a person or group of persons? But they'd still have their content, and isn't that what really matters there?

Totally agree.

For a given sub, how many accounts map to individuals vs bots/fake accounts? For real accounts, how many of those actively engage with the sub? This is not a problem for 'controlled' user accounts. The legitimacy of any vote will be suspect...no way around that.
