why do you say that, in most cases mods are appointed based on trust right?

They may be trusted but not with certain things in the admincp. I like the current system because if I want to give a mod more power I just make him a supermod.

it doesnt matter if you can trust or not, trust can change. Doesnt mater if its a person you knew for years in your life (cousins, unlces, parents, siblings etc..) they can always turn your back on you and do something that will piss you off so much and then you will regret.

but surely everything will be 'conditionalised' you set permissions for them to be able to access certain pages or even see certain links.

Of course, but security holes do occur, and there are always admins that don't update...
