Steve Huffman said he has planned to change the site's rules so that users had the power to vote out moderators, following a 48-hour protest blackout.

So basically, we can now vote out the mods and post what we want on subreddits? And if the new mods don't like what we post, we vote them out too? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

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.
