Since they're tasked with watching the chat every day, I can understand why moderators would play a role in the rulemaking process. But having power over promotions and demotions? There's enough dissension within the moderator team as it is; giving moderators these rights would quickly result in a bloodbath. There's a reason bureaucrats handle user rights. I think what Gray meant, was that, even though mods will be taking care of chat, Crats will still retain the right to demote as they see fit, but the issue with this is, there are some TERRIBLE reasons for demoting people and some extremely good ones. I, for one, used to be a chat moderator. Man was I jackass. I had my rights constantly switched in between accounts, I'm fairly certain I socked at one point, and I had a terrible temper. Those were the reasons for my demotion, and you know who demoted me? A crat?

The point of that short story was for the sole fact that, Crat's will still handle promotion/demotions, but will be going off of what PROOF the chat mods give them. It's how it's always been, since I've been here, at least.
