Splendid idea Fatal! Open up temporary mod positions and allow those to be a 'trial' of sorts to see how people handle situations. If they prove themselves (over a certain amount of time) then give them a full moderator status. This gives a lot of users the chance to be promoted, and it makes it fair. I'm not saying all users should get the opportunity because, let's face it, somebody new like me clearly does not understand how the site completely operates. But long time users should be presented the opportunity to prove themselves.
