That was something I noticed, too - a large number of Subverses that have been scooped up and claimed, and this sets of my squatter alarm.
On the other hand, mob mentality can also get out of control too and it might get a little chaotic if a subscriber base can kick mods to the curb on a whim. It would also invite various types of abuse, such as 4chan invasions. (Reddit knows all too well the danger of off-site shit-stirrers, Something Awful in their case.)
My gut tells me something like: A supermajority subscriber vote (75%+) to oust a mod and admins have veto power.
