We had a similar suggestion in that a motw would be picked by staff and given a coloured name for a week.
Things just get too hectice if we have people coming and going >.<
We pick members to be mods who are active and helpful in that particular area that needs a mod. We only pick mods when we need new ones for an area, so we'd have random mods floating around with this idea ^^;
With the coloured names, we have enough confusion with the people who donate (some members don't understand that the coloured green name isn't staff ^^; ) so i don't thnk it'd work out.
When a mod leaves an area and we are looking for a new mod, or when an area becomes too active for the current mods to handle, everyone has a chance of becoming the new mod as long as they are helpful and active ^^
Thanks for the suggestion, but it would just lead to too much confusion
