If by not participating in the queue and you mod elsewhere and some way or another, you are unable to get a score high enough for some abilities such as these, isn't it hurtful? If the same number of mods you do elsewhere is equal to that if you mod in the queue.
If you aren't helping the community, why do you deserve those privileges?
You have to put in effort to get something back. If you do proper modding through the queue, it does not take very much to get to the point requirement for nominations and you can mod whatever you like after.
If you want to mod whatever you like, then you can still obtain those privileges, just at a much slower pace.
There has to be some incentive for people to mod properly through this queue, otherwise it will be pointless.
Remember: this design is not based around modders, but
mappers. It is, I think, a good start to addressing the current problems and walls most people run into in their attempts to rank maps.
