Yes, there are many possible options here for random mod status, limited terms, etc. I review a couple here:

dalke | karma 11101 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2016-02-03 23:53:50

Perhaps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645 might give some idea of what the moderators are thinking?

yeah kinda. I saw in a post that something similar is possible with a wiki and an add-on or something like that:

kekebo | karma 677 | avg karma 2.98 · | 2021-05-26 10:31:11+00:00

Basically, yes. Here's a log of how that may look like:

We try whenever we can—or rather I try, since the other moderators aren't public. But I can't do it everywhere.

It's been asked a few times, (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5298716) but I haven't seen any response either from the Hackful founders, or anybody in general.

dang | karma 18142 | avg karma 0.25 · | 2015-03-15 09:04:41+00:00

Yes:

Not clear yet whether we should keep it.

An official solution would be great, but in the meantime there was a thread last year with lots of options:

andai | karma 8456 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2023-02-18 11:13:38

I read an interesting comment about that yesterday, describing the different options.

perilunar | karma 2349 | avg karma 1.57 · | 2018-09-19 14:54:53+00:00

shcheklein | karma 1232 | avg karma 6.32 · | 2021-01-29 07:32:33+00:00

I think this is a good thread that answers some of those questions - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25951475 . Also curious if there were other ways though.

I just discovered this and it looks promising : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27870399

brobinson | karma 2225 | avg karma 2.3 · | 2015-07-27 08:36:21

Surprisingly... yes, it is possible. See the link in my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9953496

dang | karma 18142 | avg karma 0.25 · | 2015-06-18 18:55:38+00:00

I was just looking into that. Normally we would do so, but that post already had a major thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9409423.

Yeah! I submitted this awhile back:
