Everything up until your actual suggestion is not on-topic for this community, IMO. This feels like a post that was created mainly to vent about the run-in you mentioned.

Your suggestions will run into the same issues as democracy in the real world, and then some. For one, you’d need to ensure that each human person only gets to cast a vote once, and not multiple times through alt accounts.

Additionally, not everyone might be interested in the mod election campaigns that such a system will undoubtedly incur, but for the purpose of upholding democracy they’d have to be.
