Necessary for this is that subforums can't have unique names. If a bad mod can squat all the words like "computers", "programming", "coding", newcomers aren't going to know the best subforum is called "RealProgNoBadMod"

Yes, the "important" ones need some special attention. If "democracy" where anybody can create arbitrary amount of accounts is however questionable.

The vast majority of sub forums however are more targeted and smaller to begin with.

Squatting also invites corruption and selling rights to control what is posted to a sub.
