The VSTF right already includes chat moderator rights on every wiki.

One issue with this is that a global chat moderator would have to not outrank local administration on individual wikis (and indeed, VSTF are not considered to do so). Otherwise, they could come to a wiki started by you-and-your-buddies and start bossing you around!

That's why only some of all the VSTF have the "chat moderator" right as well on Community Central. While it's actually a tad redundant (they already have chatmoderator rights via VSTF rights, as said) it distinguishes those users who have been selected to be members of the team from those not specifically selected... so if a VSTF member without the chat moderator right comes on chat and begins bossing users around, he is asked to stop.
