The actual criteria isn't all that important, as it's just a matter of deciding the best way of determining involvement in a sub. It can be dealt with later, by some smart people looking over tables and graphs of user data; the more pressing issue is whether or not we want users to be able to dethrone mods.

If I had to make a suggestion, it'd be membership for a certain period of time and a certain amount of CP, ideally derived from a formula taking into account the sub in question, perhaps using the median or mean CP or average subscription time for the sub. You could weight the votes differently depending on how much CP they have or how long they've been in the sub, or limit voting to the top X users.

Another concern that would have to be dealt with is a method to prevent newly-formed subs from being stolen immediately. This could be a grace period, additional weighting given to the current admins or a required percentage that varies according to the number of users, with a very high requirement at the beginning. Again, smart people with graphs can figure this out.

I'm no statistician. I can't say which would be best. Perhaps a variety of options could be present, to be set by the mod at the start? They would be presets, so the creator couldn't set requirements to be absurd.
