There should be a hierarchy of admins, determined by their points on comments and submission, but also there should be a way to give feedback on the decisions they make. So if a comment gets removed, everyone can still vote on it, and the admin gets the points. In theory the admin with more points is the one whose actions agree with the users, and therefore should have the power to moderate any other admin below them.

I don't know if this is the solution, but certainly the current way crowd sourcing sites are moderated, is too easy to exploit and dominate the users. There is no incentive for admins to "behave" other than their own morals.

    Yeah that's definitely a problem. it would need a bot filter of some kind. Many forums have implemented user hierarchies that affect voting power. This could work hand in hand with the admin hierarchy. All new users, including bots would have little voting power, and comparitively no influence to the vast majority of accounts that, in theory, would be used more often gaining more voting power... but this heavily depends on making sure human actions are rewarded, like commenting, and even implement machine learning on upvoting frequency etc, as oppose to simple things a bot would do.
