Voting out mods is a TERRIBLE idea. It means a very active minority can effectively control a large subreddit, and politically oriented / minority spaces are going to have constant campaigns trying to take them over.

Can you imagine what it's going to be like moderating TwoX, lgbt, or egg_irl if this change goes through? What a nightmare.
