^I think the point was the ban would be long enough until a real mod came on and could make a more permanent decision about the validity of the ban.
The only thing i could think of would be like a mod intern program. People with a relatively high post count and clean history could apply to be mods. A few people could be chosen and could be given minimal power only to be used in the absence of a real mod e.g. power to give a limited ban or edit inappropriate material from posts. And if they don't abuse their power they would be in line for mod-hood next time a position becomes available. My initial point though, i'm not sure if it's necessary often enough for it to be worth while.
