This is not the first that this is being suggested, and someone else was just talking to me about it (They will reveal their own identity if they choose to, but I won't do it unless they specifically give permission).
Real moderators can continue to handle the more delicate duties and enforcement of rules, but what's wrong with a volunteer, or 2, handling the routine duties and simple technical tasks?
Since I came, It was Reiko and Urien, then Reiko messed up and got replaced by Vald, then it was Vald and Urien, then Vald by himself, then Holdit came. Holdit failed. Now Rapax is here with Vald, and what's funny is that the first thing Rapax did was to lock the Final Draft Approval thread for new laws that players make up. I thought he would help Moderation to be more active, not less.
Want to send me some hate mail? Want to suck up to the moderators by flaming on me in this thread?
I don't mind. I really don't mind if you all dislike me for saying these things, or the way I say them.
There are willing players, who are volunteering to be a part of an active team, and Moderation responds like this:

I can guarantee the community that some of the persons who sent applications, that aren't considered the most "acceptable" by the current mods, would probably do a better job.
