Is gamifying moderator action a good idea?

Some sites 'gamify' moderation, by showing leader boards of posts deleted, users destroyed etc. Some even highlight users who haven't deleted as many posts as the others.

Is this a good idea or does it encourage 'moderation-by-stats', moderators competing for high scores over quality moderation?
