| Jul 30, 2014 at 13:26 | comment | added | Dozer789 | @BoltClock But if they are a great moderator, and have always done things how they should be done, and they don't participate in chat, but are still around for if they need something, doesn't that make a difference? | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 13:22 | comment | added | BoltClock | If someone isn't participating in a chat room then they don't have much of a reason to be moderating the room IMO. | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 13:20 | comment | added | Dozer789 | @BoltClock That was the thing I was asking... Some of the mods don't participate in chat. They just either sit around waiting until they need to do something, or they are doing something else besides moderating the site. | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 4:22 | comment | added | BoltClock | I'm confused by this question. If you have a chat room, and you have moderators, what else would they be doing if not moderating chat (besides, of course, participating normally)? | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 20:03 | comment | added | Dozer789 | @Gilles I'm a chat moderator, and it is for a website that has no forums, or anything like that. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 20:00 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | Are you a chat moderator, or is the chat just one aspect of the community? This isn't clear in your question. Furthermore, what kind of moderation is expected — stringent rules enforcement, after-the-fact cleanup, …? | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 19:59 | comment | added | Dozer789 | @jmfsg This question is on topic, because it is about a chatroom on a different website... | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 19:52 | comment | added | juan | This question appears to be off-topic because it is about the Stack Exchange family of sites, instead of general online communities | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 19:41 | comment | added | juan | This question is too SE oriented (with the chat and "answering a question"), it should focus more on general online communities. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 19:35 | comment | added | Dozer789 | @MattS. Yes, that is what I'm wondering | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 19:35 | comment | added | Captain America | So moderators have to be in the chat. But you're wondering if it's better to encourage them to be involved, or to encourage them to not be involved? | |
