So what do you propose? I run a large subreddit and it's hard to find worthwhile moderations and keep the submissions fresh/useful as it grows even larger.

  As I had said in another comment: > Personally I'd like to see moderation in the way they have it now removed in favour of the Slashdot method where a post with a large number of downvotes is reviewed by those with good-standing in that sub-Reddit but with the username and other details removed. This will allow for some level of sanity within the imperfections that Reddit provides. Make moderation blind and make it so we don't know who the moderators are; this prevents power-tripping.

    What? That's crazy. That makes it easy for interested parties (marketers, gov't agents, etc.) to hide amongst real moderators, or in other words makes it more difficult to detect the source of spurious moderation.

      If it's done at random and only given to those who participate in discussion and get responses and good karma, then manipulation becomes far more difficult. Unless the marketers, government agents, or other unwanted parties are involved in the same capacity as everyone else, then you shouldn't have to worry about spurious moderation. The only caveat to this is that it encourages a further echo chamber effect, but then again you're already engaging in one by participating in a forum anyhow.
