Moderators?

We're slowly getting more and more members, so I was wondering if we should be looking towards the mod direction - for those of you who don't know what Moderators (mods) are, they're the same things as Administrators (admins) but their powers only affect a specific forum. Admins, for example, can edit any person's post anywhere on the forums, whereas mods can do the same thing as long as the post is in the forum that they mod.

The benefits? A more structured hierarchy for the forums, more specialized help (people realizing they can ask the mod of a specific forum for help in that game, as it's unlikely that someone who mods a forum has limited knowledge of the game), less work for the admin (he can let the mods check up on the forums, rather than going to every forum himself), and a desire of all member to be better member so that they, too, may one day receive modship. We can even have elections for moderators of forums to make it easier for the decision to be made, as long as the person who runs for it actively participates in the forum (otherwise they should not be allowed to run in the first place). An old forum that I used to go to had a whole near-law written up for moderator selection, I'll see if I can find it.

On a totally unrelated note, we need a forum for FFT. It's a great game and many people have played it.
