Might work for some people but I know I'm not paying monthly for building mode in minecraft where other servers let you do it for free.
Well I like just building shit. So you want something put up somewhere? I can do that. Let the regular people play the way you intend. But if you want random settlements or shops and what not. hell you could even have quests, collect so many whatevers for a reward, what kind of thing.
the quest thing is not a bad idea, moderators would essentially be builders. I think this can work without much abuse as i found a server logger that logs player commands one themselves and on others. auditing these command lines after hearing complaints will be useful for substantiating evidence regarding ban requests.

The server admin tool we are using MC My Admin has a sorta built in permissions tool. We haven't actually tested it out yet though.
Edit: It's suppose to work with Bukkit lol
