User blog comment:Link is a Master/Our "Fun Box"/@comment-25021327-20150710032206

Well, I can only speak personally on this. During the time I was a chat mod, I very rarely had to kick or ban anyone, but I was able to make a ton of progress in whittling down the Needs Work category, as well as assisting with other Wiki issues regarding site errors etc.

I never really felt like ''"T he best part about being a chat mod is the ability to kick/ban people from chat." '' and in fact that sounds kind of irresponsible :\  Staff members are able to help in a few ways on the Wiki. A chat mod can handle shitpasta cases exactly the same as an admin except that instead of deleting an unimproved story, they have to add the "Marked for Deletion" tag.

Skype is a better chat program than our wiki "fun box" which is probably why most people prefer it. However, I try to pop into the wiki chat periodically if there are new users who need help or anything like that. I've noticed some other folks doing it too.

So even though you don;t get to have as much fun kicking people out of the chat as you used to, neither is the chat mod position is one of total impotance. I wish there were more users in the wiki chat. I also wish it didn;t crash so often on my computer.
