The problem with that is people can abuse that really easily. If you look at the 4th place on the leaderboard, you'll see NexosisTNT. They abused the leaderboard system by adding a lot of categories and vandalising a lot of pages in the process, but secretly reverting the edits quickly so no one would notice. ZombieTycoonPVP also used to do this, but not so much anymore.

I think a better system for adding moderators/admins is to have nominations to be an admin/moderator and let editors vote on the nominees.
