Be careful what you wish for. SomethingAwful voted out its mods and it went to shit _very_ quickly after. It's very hard to find mods who actually care about a community. Many of the very best communities on Reddit are very strictly moderated because the sad reality is that the vast majority of contributions are shit. If you end up in SA's situation, where strict moderation lead to many users having had at least one negative experience with mods, users might get the idea they know better than the mods how to run their community and any mod who actually curates the contributions runs the risk of getting votekicked. That being said, treating mods as some kind of tenured position has lead to plenty of abuse as well. Altogether it's going to be a thin line for everyone involved to tread in order to keep these communities intact through all of this.
