Sensible, intelligent, good with people, laid back, tolerant, positive and on good terms with the community.

Yeah, I know they're new, but bringing new people on staff can give a fresh outlook of someone who is starting on a clean slate. They both seem reasonable and laid back, and they're also getting along with people here well.
[MENTION=3096]Sonya[/MENTION]
Because the staff just needs someone who's totally no-nonsense.
can't think of anyone else I'd qualify.

WRONG. Those people were corrupt to begin with, they just lacked the opportunity to act on it. Most people are inherently very selfish, thus corrupt though.
You're right, and it especially depends on how one views and hopes to wield power. For instance, in my eyes, the only reason power would ever appeal to me would be when I considered the potential good I could do for others with it - all the while, though, I'd be worrying about that simultaneous potential to do harm, inadvertently. Also, I wouldn't necessarily equate moderation with power, because as a moderator (not that I think I would be, I'm sure there are plenty of more capable people out there) I wouldn't really be concerned with exerting much of any power other than maintaining the harmony and equilibrium of the forums. In that sense, I'd more so be using careful consideration and a watchful eye than strictly power, especially since I'd be part of a team and my decisions would be subject to the scrutiny of the community and my peers. Some power, yes, but only that which is necessary, and ideally any displays of excess would be called out by those around me. Just my 2 cents, though, ain't worth all that much I suppose.
Additionally, as David Brin said... "It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power."

I won't give any names. I'm not that cruel.

Hey guys no need to worry I promise if you give me power I will corrupt it! HONESTY UPFRONT!
Vote for slant.
I'll vote for you but I need you to make an invisible empowered user group for me. :3
thanks but don't you think that i am bossy enough already?
I don't know of anyone on the forum who is not a moderator who would make a good one.
I nominate [MENTION=3473]InvisibleJim[/MENTION]
Seriously, though, I think there are a fair amount of peeps with mod potential, [MENTION=2873]Serenity[/MENTION] for one. I could see her spreading the luvs with her mod abilities.
With all the members on these forums, chances are there has to someone... right?
EDIT: Lastly, though, as a certain [MENTION=4015]purplecrayons[/MENTION] has pointed out, your statement most likely stems from having high standards, which is pretty snazzy (especially considering these are the people who keep this place running - it's kind of critical to make sure they're competent). I can see from that perspective. Still, there has to be someone out there. Maybe? *takes a look around the forums... ...
