"If you are not a moderator, you have no right to be warning users about behavior."

I disagree with this. If a user on chat, particularly a new user, asks if something is allowed, a moderator might be slower to respond than a regular user. No matter who responds, the question is resolved either way.

"Also, don't openly ask to be a moderator."

In a career, often the only way you are going to get noticed for a promotion is if you make it known to your superiors that you are looking to move up in the company.
