The concept I agree with. Being currently banned is a rather bad requirement, if they are banned I would assume they are not a very good candidate for being able to screw with the forums once they get unbanned and now pass all the conditions. Instead it should be a ban record, and someone who has been banned 3 times is unable to be a senior staff member.

Perhaps an activity record, as someone who used to contribute, and left, then came back 6 months later when they remember they used to help isn't a senior member. And a year? That doesn't quite fit with the contribution count. I predict about 500-600 if I keep up my current edits per day, and that is for 2 months. A year gets me 3000-3600 15-18 times that amount, which is very far from your number. I may be very active currently, but change one or the other, as it simply does not match peoples contribution numbers.

Oh, and one last thing. You get to explain how on earth we do that, as I have never seen any other ranks other than the following.


 * Banned (if you call that a rank)
 * Contributer
 * Admin
 * Bureaucrat/Creator

And I have seen a lot of wikis. If it is possible, correct me, but otherwise, this idea seems a bit farfetched.
