In nominations the user not only has to get the mod/admins to like them, they also have to show that they are capable of performing the tasks associated with mod/admin rights. Yeah but I would think it's the Beurocrat's job to evaluate the support behind an application. Its easy to know if a person is eligable for a postition in power or not if admin and/or mod is behind them, and not just reuglar user support. Also, the nomination system would make it hard for people to get nominated. I don't know how often mods or admins would nominate people, but I hope they have to nominate a certain number of people for available jobs. If not, then I still find myself under the same opinion and keep this as an But having very few people going for mod is a good thing because the 2 bureaucrats have to look through all of the applications and decide whether the person is fit to be a modderator based on what people say about the person (usually decided by how well the users like the person and not how well they think they will be as a moderator. This system benefits our two bureaucrats because at it is they both are not very active in chat and can have people that they trust (possibly) nominate that they think would make good applocants.
