I would recommend two things: the new mods be anonymous and that they can only relocate posts/threads and not delete them - to a hidden probation zone until "the sherrif" returns to render final judgement.
Things to think about: Do the new mods serve in their new capacity all the time or just when you are on sabbatical. The new mods will always be "caught in the middle" - some will be upset at a deletion while others will be upset at the lack of a deletion. I worry about certain folk being mods because they won't be their "old selves" anymore. Not that they will change but when you go from not being a mod to being a mod, things are different. That's one reason I thought they could serve under cover of anonymity - to avoid being questioned at every turn.
Nothingland... Reminds me of Yello Submarine for some reason. Other possibilities: The Void, Nothing To See Here, The Attic.
We could also create a new forum for everyone who wants to bitch about how the Cellar is moderated: The Whine Cellar.
