I don't know. However, I say that these aren't sustainable solutions. Depending on the admins to solve each individual issue is good for a small, cohesive community, but neither of those apply to us. And the more we grow, the less it will apply to us.

Thus, we need to find solutions which gives the community the power to deal with these issues.
One way is by allowing users to remove moderators. To avoid brigading, we can limit this to top subverse contributors, or Trusted Members(decent activity, good recent activity upvote ratio, etc.). Could be done by each user having an individual vote, or by using upvotes as votes.
This could also apply to rules.

The other way I can think of is decentralizing moderation. I can see two ways, we get a fuckton of mods(nominated by the users), or the users moderate themselves.
Either way, the way it would work is by them individually checking whether posts and comments obey the rules, and if a super-mayority agrees that it doesn't, the post is removed.

Neither solution is perfect, though I prefer the first one. The second one could make subverses lose direction.
