"People who have the free time to moderate web forums and want to do it" is such a toxic slice of humanity despite the fact that it does contain some relatively sane people.
Not in the sense of having a random group of users determining individual moderation decisions, that obviously wouldn't work well. But could work for more abstract oversight
