Huffman told NBC News the company will soon allow forum users to overrule moderators by voting them out of their positions, a change that may enable communities that do not wish to remain private to reopen.
In addition, one company administrator said Thursday, Reddit may soon view communities that remain private as an indicator that the moderators of those communities no longer wish to moderate. That would constitute a form of inactivity for which the moderators can be removed, the company said.
“If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users,” the administrator said, adding that Reddit may intervene even if most moderators on a team wish to remain closed and only a single moderator wants to reopen
Basically, let us overthrow moderators with bots and mods we trust. If you want to protest they will silently push you off. I see some cccp similarities here…
Allowing members to vote out their moderation team? This couldn’t possibly backfire, I look forward to seeing what happens.
I went and poked through r/NBA and man it’s a sight to see the anger in the community
