VERY VERY BAD IDEA!
Are you familiar with the story of Pandora's Box?
If it operated as you suggest you would be...
1. Establishing an elite group with powers and privileges well in excess of all other users and moreover these excess powers are unnecessary. CoB's already have the necessary tools to appropriately deal with spammers and other miscreants within their individual boards.
2. Volume restrictions don't help; they actually make things worse. Imagine if you will an individual whose position is under attack by several other individuals. If you limited an individual to 10 posts within a specified time, the opposing group could overwhelm him/her easily without ever exceeding their own 10 message limit per poster. If the group numbered more than 10 the original poster would not even be allowed to respond to each detractor. Does that sound fair?
Again, many of the rules already in place can deal effectively with irresponsible individuals. As a Moderator of Moderator's you should only need to deal with CoB's, not policing individual posters. The "one man as God" method of policing a board has been tried many times before, and each has been an utter failure. Who watches the watcher?
If a CoB is abusing their position (mini Godhead) they should be handled appropriately. But the individual or group responsible for that should not be dealing with the individual posters, Only Moderators.
I do not say these things lightly or from the top of my head. I have almost 25 years of experience with BBS. I was one of CompuServe's original users. The best most effective boards I have ever seen were setup similar to our own government. With power equally divided and each group being able to check the other from abusing that power. It is not perfect, mistakes get made but it is a far cry from the worst that can happen.
