    Unfortunately, I can’t think of any way you could implement a voting feature for mods that wouldn’t be abused. There are bots that would be inevitably able to vote in anyone they want

    Also being a mod is difficult and you will have to make unpopular decisions. Sometimes the person you took action on will misrepresent what happened or outright lie to sway public opinion against you. People will take advantage of that to vote a mod out.

    Do you have some way to prevent abuse like that happening?

      It also doesn’t account for the difference between what the anonymous mass of lurkers want, and what the people who actually post and comment and contribute to the sub want.
