Adopt a Forum!
 
As you may know, setting moderator positions can be a real hasstle, especially when you want to rotate moderators, make sure that moderators have the forums they want, while guaranteeing that there are not too many moderators per forum. Then, of course, there are moderators who disappear for a year and then reappear right when you take away their powers.

This is my solution! I call it "Adopt a Forum." Once a member is put into a moderator usergroup (a trusted member), they can pick from a list of adoptable forums (perhaps GC is unadoptable...). Once a forum is adopted, a member remains a moderator for an x period of time (let's say, three months) determined by the admin, and must opt whether to or not to receive email notification for their selected forum.

An admin could also determine if a particular moderator usergroup can moderate one forum or x forums (perhaps this could be determined by post count, referrals, etc., but this could be set up in the promotion section of the AdminCP).

What do you think?

*edit: did I mention it's a great way to make people post at your brand new forum? ah, people are registering, but no one is posting at my culture and humanities site! Ah, the ominous fate of www.lexiglobal.net. Go there, now! Become life long members! So what if most of you are geeks and not nerds? Big differene, you know!

Also, adopting moderators, although they can switch their forum after a select period of time, might not need to renew their adoptions, but simply must login after d amount of days.

But anyway, although I certainly don't know from expereience, this sounds like a really hard hack to make. I wander if anyone will take up the challenge :rolleyes: (Nota Bene, my acuminous diction :nervous: ).
