The problem I foresee is that this turns out to be big-money philanthropy. Who do you hire as your moderator?

Money isn't the only thing that motivates people. Most people who moderate forums on the internet aren't payed to do so.

Although those other motivations might not be the kind you want. You probably don't want a moderator driven by a desire to lord their power over other people.
