I'd go for a temporary mod just to see how it goes. Would be interesting to rotate temporary mods. In a way, "here it's your turn to clean up the shit this month."

Where I get concerned is just handing the reins to autists just like Reddit but with different values. Most of the old school of Reddit mods didn't start out with ill intent, they just can't help themselves after a certain point. Then before you know it, all kinds of deletes just because they think they are helping. In which case, I'd really prefer deal with a mod that doesn't come around all that much and a block button.

I've not been that bothered though, I just ignore and move on for the most part. The only thing I might do is restrict handshakes from top-level posts.
