Get rid of all moderators once a sub reaches more than, for instance, 100 unique users per day.
While this sub is coming into the spotlight, recently a large number of subs have come under control of "non-voaters" through the subverse request system. What these people plan to do with the subs they've obtained is anybody's guess, but it's probably not in Voat or the subs' best interest.
Start using votes to auto-moderate. If something reaches -5, delete it entirely. Stuff that hits -5 is already out of view from everybody anyhow. You'll need to crack down on the increasingly large number of people using bots since this would enable somebody to completely silence another user. Maybe as another option add another button people could choose beside upvote/downvote - delete. If (upvote+downvote) - delete < -4 then delete the comment/thread. upvote/downvote/delete would be mutually exclusive to prevent people from just going downvote+delete on everything they don't like.
For CSS and site rules each sub could have a single automated monthly poll thread for each. Users post their proposed css/rules to the thread. At the end of the month the votes decide what is used. Again there would need be more of a crackdown on vote botting. But anyhow yeah - there is no real point for moderators. Get rid of them.
Nopenopenopenope. Look in all/new. Tell me, how many posts do you see with no upvoats or downvoats that are more than a minute old? Close to a page full. all you need is 6 accounts which can DV to get rid of those posts entirely.
