Also, I would really like if we had a rule detailing on the number of moderators that are arguing with a user. The example of last night, as mentioned above, had about four moderators repeating what another moderator had warned them about. Now, while I don't want moderators to be useless and all, I think only certain situations (such as users breaking Terms of Use) should be handled by administrators only, whereas chat moderators will take care of regular rule breakers, such as the caps lock spamming and role playing. That's just a very rough idea though, nothing really set in stone about my idea. I think this has been discussed in the past long ago. Several admins and moderators getting onto a single user will seem very intimidating, so if one admin or mod begins to handle a situation, it's best to just leave it to them. If it gets out of hand, drags on for too long, and/or if said admin/mod requests assistance, that's when others should get involved.

And, personally, I believe that if any sort of rule-breaking is occurring on the chat, the chat moderators have the right to be involved. Many instances require an administrator's assistance, yes, but since their duty is to moderate the chat, you shouldn't deprive them of that.
