User blog comment:DarthRex/WARNING CRITICAL - Why So Many Chat Mods?/@comment-5153769-20120916125602/@comment-25240665-20120917141928

Actually it isn't a voting system. You can recommend people for rights, but you don't vote for them. It is actually there for the admins to have a rough overview over who the community wants to be a CM. I agree that people do not use it the right way. I also don't think that the admins are not so stupid and really pay attention to it, because they know at least a bit of what's going. BCG already told me that he doesn't really pay attention to it. I'd assume that he didn't lie about that.

And then, yes, I've noticed that most of the CMs are biased against other people and give them warnings for spamming when other people would not get warnings. And about the offsite music links: Actually we are not even allowed to mention the names of bands/artists that use inappropriate words in their lyrics. At least that's what Drew told me on my talk page. I don't think it's already in the official chat rules though.
