I feel some parts of the chat moderators requirements are to little and too much to ask for. For example. why do mods need such a large amount of edits when they're job is not to directly govern wiki, but instead the chat itself. Yes, I do believe chat mods should have some amount of edits needed to prove they are loyal to the wiki, but I feel we should look more at how often they are on chat, how active they are on chat and focus less on what they've done for the main wiki. I also feel like we should increase the required activity time for mods as their jobs can be done by admins and as the chat requires mods to be there 24/7 whereas the wiki does not.

Therefore, I feel we should lower the number of required edits of chat mods to somewhere between 100-175 but increase the period of time on wiki to about 3 months and require they be on chat more often. And when I say "be on chat more often" I mean active. Not sitting there afk and not responding to pings as that entirely defets the purpose of a chat mod just as requiring a large amount of edits for someone who's job is to simply monitor the chat is.
