Hello community, As we all know, the Chat Moderator January 2015 elections are fast approaching us. I would like to see a change in requirements for Chat Moderators, eliminating them all together. Please continue to read below as I will explain all the facts.

The current chat mod requirements reads that each chat mod must have over 150 edits. I'm going to list why this requirement isn't required:


 * 1) This requirement was made by the Administration with out any consensus of the community, the people who vote, you guys. This is limiting your choices of who can moderate our chat, and who you can nominate. This should not have been allowed to begin with.
 * 2) Good users could just be active in chat, and not so much the article part. If a user does not have a lot of edits, but is very active in chat, it does not mean that he/she would be a bad mod. In fact, I think that, that user would be the best choice, since he is in chat a lot. We should look for dedication in chat, the job of the mods, not the edits.

We may be missing out on great mods, that just don't have the edits. If you have any questions please just ask. I look forward to reading your comments.
