I'm going to have to say no to this.

As Crabwhale said, the staff members make up a larger part of the community than they should, which is always a bad thing.

For one, if staff positions are being handed out like candy, then they start to feel... not very special. That's not to say staff members are better than anyone else; they are still just as human as non-staff members. But the point I'm trying to make is that staff positions are meant for those who have been a great help for their site and can devote time to protecting it.

Secondly, if so many people have staff powers in a small community such as this one, then the non-staff members may possibly feel oppressed, primarily due to an increased risk of admin abuse. It's no different from what can happen if a government gets too powerful, for me.

TL;DR: Sorry, but I think we have more than enough staff members.
