I'd volunteer, I'd like to help out. As long as there are clear guidelines and just manual labour, such as locking cheating accusation threads and those with blatant hate speech. But are you sure this will lessen the workload? It takes a long time for a mod to learn the community enough to be able to draw the line fairly well, and all mod decisions are based on judgment. Since you're suggesting a long line of inexperienced mods, there will almost certainly be mistakes made, and there is a clear risk that people, with the best intentions, will piss off someone and create a shitstorm that you will have to defend. I like the idea, democratising the power somewhat by distributing it fairly in small doses, it reminds me of ancient Greece. But it would have to be carefully managed.
