[@Cynder] As far as a tag system goes, yes. An adult or age requirement tag would be great. An entire split sub forum I believe is a bit much.

[@Kangaroo] I agree there, that was always my rule of thumb when staffing a forum. 

Reason for the suggestion though boils down since it is difficult for the current staff to be active, it's harder for you all to know or see who may or may not be a good candidate. The thought alone of having to go through back posts and status updates to clear someone is daunting. I do it just to clear people for Rps, as a mod it would be under going a lot more securitization. That was the main reasoning for the suggestion. 

Granted if the mods had someone in mind, they could always put it feelers in the community so people could express concerns over a certain candidate. But that's an entirely different can of worms.
