I can admit that when I was having insomnia for a few months before the current and last weeks, I actually was able to pin down the exact times Chaos and Sly were offline (likely asleep), and besides the fact that it's SUPER early in the morning (2AM-7AM PST?) and there's nobody on, that actually is a concern since with that big of a time frame, a ton of rules can be broken just like Ranylyn said. But, after reading the entire post, my own concern is, well, who's truly responsible in Dev's eyes enough to warrant even just half the power of a GM, and has the time?
You'd really have to be looking at players who have little life outside of the internet (possibly not the best way to put it, but people that have a lot of free time) to be able to be able to have a consistent amount of surveillance, but yet aren't so wrapped up in the game that they'll forget. And you can't have people who're going to bias their friends out of trouble or have a history of breaking the rules (not saying anybody with a temp ban is out of the ruling, but why they were would be a factor). It's also hard to try and manage a force like this as well, speaking from experience of being (shamefully) a Minecraft server co-owner. There's also that Chaos would have to work on managing that group and the guards at the same time, and Chaos has said that having extremely large groups are heavy to take care of, so it's not like it'd be fun all around to have a group of 15-20 people. (I can't even keep up with my guild chat of twenty people half the time), and assuming most players live in Britain or America, 3-5 might pose as issue if they're all around the same time zone and log off at around the same time, cause then we're just ending up with that early morning issue.

The other two issues I saw is that, well, some people do think Chaos and Sly have bias. Not pointing fingers, but that is a common opinion that some people only talk about under the sheets. Who's not to say that people will start pointing fingers at the mini group as well? With players, it's much easier to shit talk them then it is the GMs (because some people think that doing that will get you banned, like SL2 is some kind of police state). The other issue is along the same lines, people will likely do their best to OR go out of their way to stay away from those players if they're known. This isn't an issue for some people, but for players like me, or Fern, or anybody who puts their name in the title, this would be. It would likely half the usual RP we get, and it would be easier to just tell others "Oh, [Person X] is a mini-GM, stay away from them." Which is totally a thing that happens, yes. And if you don't and get found out, what are you going to do? Make a new character? What'd be the point if that'll eventually get found out too?
There's also the smaller issue of mini-modding, which people already get bitchy about ("I'm breaking lore? Well unless Slydria says I am you're retarded!" -- Something someone actually said to me once) that might prove an issue, but if they're known that might not be. But then again, check that last paragraph.

Otherwise, I actually like the idea. People that actually have the duty to report that kinda stuff to a GM, instead of just being encouraged too.
(Although maybe not make them like the GS? I almost got permabanned for making a joke about bath salts (the drug) on that game. [sweats])
