what i said was that they both need to be reliable............ so if you're finding a reliable person whos been accepted... to just give them full mod permissions anyway... because it's more helpful.. and efficient
the effort of finding and accepting people just to mod the chat is imo dumb since mods don't really neglect the chat that much. they get more mutes than bans but they still need to ban people. imagine if all the people who are pending for an interview got chat mod instead. do you think that would help as much as them being actual mods? if someone leaks your ip in chat and the only mod online is a chat mod who can't ban and can only mute, who could've been a real mod, are you going to be 100% happy? people who need to be banned for chat offenses are usually worse than people spamming the chat for a few seconds. yes, they can be put in ban/blacklist requests and muted, but that's so inefficient and there'll be a lot of mistakes
they just need real moderators
