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? Love, I hate arguing with you, but the reason that chat mods are being given more power over chat is because well, it's in the name, CHAT moderator, they are accountable for what happens in chat. Admin's can watch chat, yes, but chat moderators do not need to worry about the main site, other than having drama leak into it. Crats shouldn't have to take time out of their day just to make sure we all aren't being complete jackasses in chat. Last time that happened, chat was shut down.

For a good reason.
