What I actually propose is members of the Council become mods automatically. They are the usual active posters, readers, and spam reporters on the forums and having them assigned the task as little as delete spam would be a big help. This task is optional of course as I tend to moderate the forums anyway if no one's around.

Moving, renaming, and deleting threads (which usually never happens) are the more time consuming tasks.

Sticky post writers are quite rare, but they usually get the appreciation by most.
