And that will never happen as long as saidit respects the rights of communities to break away from other communities with compromised mods. The sovereign mod is the most important aspect of ranked content websites IMHO. There's no way you can totally get rid of compromised/bought off/biased mods but you can break away and create a rival group which if moderated better will suck away all the old users and kill the original sub. The Bitcoin subreddit was a good example of this. Luckily reddit didn't have a dog in the fight and didn't call all the alternative subreddits that sprung up to provide truth about bitcoin 'racist' or 'hate groups'. I don't think the pyramid of debate will ultimately be the protector of this place but I do think a healthy competition among moderators will. Keep a true 'market' of ideas and this site has a bright future.
