As it is probably obvious, few people have been coming to the wiki's chat lately. Most of them go to the discord widget and start chatting there. The standard chat is almost empty at most times, and so it does not have anything to be moderated, so most chat moderators do not use their abilities at all, in addition to that most of them are usually inactive. And I cannot really blame them.

Thus, I propose we do not give Chat Moderator rights anymore, and remove the rights of users who still possess them due to the reasons I mentioned already, and move the job to the admins. And to be more clear for all, this option of lapsing rights does not mean that we disregard the current users, but because there is currently nothing to do in the chat. Thereby, there is no need for such a right anyone.

IF someone needs help with a user on the chat, they should contact one of our active admins. Do not also forget that Wikia has offered the Discussion Moderation right, and that this right gives Chat Moderation power automatically. So instead of offering only the ability to moderate chat which is very useless right now, we should offer a more general right that has a future.
