This is an excellent suggestion. It is creative.

It also made me think that perhaps every summer there could be a survey that all subscribers could take regarding the mods of their favorite verses.

People who get great ratings from subscribers could get another mod credit, and those who get bad ratings as being abusive of power might be reviewed by admins?

The survey responses would have to measured against total subscribers, whether they respond to the survey or not otherwise a vocal minority could kick out a mod. So if only 10 people respond to the survey, but their are 10,000 members of that verse - then you assume the other 9,990 people are happy enough not to complain, and not punish them. But if 4,000 negative surveys come in about a mod abusing his/her rights then their replacement would be discussed somehow.

I really like your idea.

Is there any effort to collect the best ideas to insulate Voat in advance and prevent the problems that developed at reddit?
