User blog comment:DarthRex/WARNING CRITICAL - Why So Many Chat Mods?/@comment-4825926-20120916084932

"Why are there so many chat mods on this wiki?": Idk

"How many chat mods do we need?": The fewer the better, so sue me.

"why are a third of them chat mods?": Apparently, being a chat mod is considered cool. Its become a sort of social status. Users who lack respect from other users will set out to be chat mods, so as to gain their respect one way or another.

"Is being a chat mod like a special reward?": I guess so.

"why can't you just make an award for extra-ordinary users": A "you are a friendly person" award? Sounds good to me.

"Why can't the chat mod position be a thing of responsibility and not rank?": The admins try their best to choose wisely. But the thing is, once someone is given CM, they usually seem to never be taken away again. Even if the user has changed for the worse after being made CM.

Everything else: No comment.
