If it gets to the point where a forum moderator would be useful to deal with chat stuff, I'd apply for that.

The only reason I don't really edit is because, to put it bluntly, I can't. I've tried to get better at it (ask Callie, she tried to teach me) but I couldn't. Unless it's something like clearing the article listing, which I blitzed through, I'm basically useless.

So I think forum mod might be a good idea. Theoretically, the forums could be mostly self-moderated with very little admin intervention. Regular users have the ability to do pretty anything but close threads, delete threads, and ban users. This includes moving threads, removing threads and removing individual replies from threads. So, in theory, if a chat moderator was also willing to patrol the forums looking for chat drama related threads, they could do that without needing any extra powers?

Because it would free up the time of the admins who have to go in and close these threads.
