Personally, I've always viewed the FVC and forum mod positions as recruitment pools for modship. We've always ended up with a better and more active team of mods when we pick people who have proven themselves dedicated to helping out the site in other capacities prior to being modded. Without that, it's hard (at least for me) to know who to mod. When active prospective mods start showing up, the impetus to clean house and replace the laggards gain traction...so having such a pool actually indirectly "steps up" the entire staff.
