A look at the Moderator - Censorship spectrum [0].
> Imagine a forum / Reddit-style social site that has no owners, no administrators, no entrenched authoritarian moderators. Imagine if the power was shifted back to the individual users, who could hire and fire personal “moderators” (content curators) to best guide discussions in the way that the user found to be valuable.
Personally I still think the StackOverflow notion of moderator elections is the most transparent way of doing it.
It's still not perfect, but I think as far as transparency goes it's the best that I've found.
