On a few servers that I've moderated in the past, we found it key that the Moderators were chosen by the way they've helped the players, and not the way the staff see them help, because everyone gets more helpful and friendly when Shadow, Meat or WoM are around.
Every once in a while, I suggest you pick a few helpful players and do a poll to the server on who they think should be the newest staff member. This way, the current staff get to pick the people they think influence the players in a positive way and, out of those choices, the players get to pick the one that they know influence the game in a positive way.
Just a suggestion though, plus it would stop the random people hoping to join the server and post a mod application thinking they'll be chosen. (:
I completely support this, I enjoy pretending to be afk and watching how others react when i am not there, people do change when staff are around quite a lot!
maybe do a general population survey every month or every week or so just to see who has been helpful, maybe ask people to "Enter" then put everyone down on a poll and see who gets the most votes, don't have to necessarily give them moderator, maybe make a new title that doesn't have any powers called "Helper" and they get that yell title?
