The same thing that was stopping them before, that's a lot of work. Plus, it was free before, so they'd need to spend some money doing it themselves.

the new moderators would also be seen as scabs by the communities they are supposed to be moderating. I can't see that going well.

Probably depends on the sub, but yeah, lots of potential for it to go wrong

how were those moderators chosen the first time around? what's to prevent them from repeating that selection process? it might take a bit of work but the circumstances seem to merit at least that much.

The person who makes the subreddit is the head mod; they can add others. Some subs do voting, or solicit nominations for new mods.

thanks. is the nomination and voting a built in reddit feature? if so, this sounds like a good time to use it.
