Like Maria had stated, it causes a lot of stress to the main site trying to maintain the administrators that we have on here scanning through 10,000 + pages on the site. The reason why it only includes chat mods only is because it helps out with the chat. It can eliminate the unneeded moderators, the consideration that the user is well-respected that they deserve the star in the chat, and the drama caused by users (other than those who ignore the rules and bitch about it) because of these moderators.

People usually go through chat issues towards their problems with other users. An example of this was Callie, where people were bitching that she shouldn't get administrator because she doesn't do a good job at modding, but did a good job at keeping the site clean (during her active times). We shouldn't really do this for administrators because it's not their job to moderate the chat. Their job is to keep the site clean from vandalism, do the deletion appeal, give users their deleted articles, ect.

Really, if they have done a terrible job at site work and not lurking, which none to some of our administrative team isn't doing, or if they have a good job, I don't think that this should be instituted for administrators. There are the inactivity guidelines and we have petitioned demotion threads for inactive users for just lurking around the site/not doing anything.
