Once they're moderators, they're free to do their duties, but once again the site and chat are not separate entities, it doesn't make sense to have a mod that was literally only here for chat. They should be here for the site, chat should be a secondary perk. Why? What do we care if they're only here for the chat? What we need is moderators who are responsible and capable of dealing with situations that come up. That's all the job requires and it doesn't really make sense to limit our pool even further than that for no reason.

Because, once again, chat is an extension of CP Wiki. People should be required to contribute to the site, the system now is that nobody has to contribute. All you have to do is be active in chat, you can contribute absolutely dick to the community and still be made a mod, theoretically. Plus, I think we could look at their activity prior as a sort of test run for responsibility and capability. Just like we have to test rollbackers, etc. We carefully look at their history, their responsibility and, honestly, how smart and capable they really are. Like "Hey, this guy's editing is good, his reviewing is good, he's responsible and look he's not a fucking dickhead. Plus he's active on chat."
