This may sound incredibly stupid, but I do think that we should get rid of most of the mod team (other than those who are liable enough to keep their position, maybe 3 or 4), promote those three users (unless if they are mods already), and wait and see if anyone trustworthy comes along. It's not really the end of the world if we're understaffed in the mod department; admins can promote temp-mods for the night or whenever this shortage appears when an admin has to leave. This is probably the best way of getting good mods by having people suggest who they want to be a mod (like what Empy did with Spicy). What happens after that is all up to you; you can have the apps process and these users apply and the regulars vote on their process, or that an admin/bureaucrat comes on and asks "How was *insert user name* doing with the mod job?"
