Is there a subreddit you don't like? Are you a mod of a larger subreddit? Get your users to vote out the smaller subreddit's mods and vote you in, then delete it.

    This issue could be prevented, perhaps to have a voting ability you need to have a certain amount of karma, comments, posts, history, etc or a combination of the above attributes, then once a vote is called there's a secondary voting round where only a few randomly selected users get to vote. That would water down any flooding attempts.
