1. Chat is supposed to be usable and enjoyable by the entire site, not just the regulars.

2. Why shouldn't the admins have a say in something that concerns them? Chat is relevant to and impacts the main site, even though most of the regulars do little to no work on it. I noticed this during the last shutdown.

3. How do we know the mods can handle all the issues that might come up? Is there even enough of them? Is their judgement somehow more valuable than an administrators' or crat's?

4. Why are we considering moderators to be "above" admins and crats in the first place? The "admins work on the site, mods work on the chat" mentality demonstrates pretty clearly to me that most of the mods don't seem to care about the main site. This site is not a chatroom. It's a literature site to read and create stories. The fact that we're even making threads like these is already a step in the wrong direction in my eyes.

Unless someone can answer all my questions, I wouldn't be comfortable with this.
