In fact, this is pretty much the last premise I would ever accept as a possibility in the argument. Perhaps making the membership process even more transparent could help here, and I'd be willing to listen to any ideas about that.
I think the influence of the board on the voting mechanism can be somewhat reduced if any board member can be only 1 or maybe 2 consecutive periods in the position of a board member. Then we already rule out that they only 'grant membership' to users that would vote for them. Not being able to be re-elected makes this usecase void. I would not go as far and block them completely after several periods, but having the board remixed once in a while is probably not bad neither.
