You might know a bit more than I do on this, but Help:Chat states that admins cannot ban VSTF or Wikia Helpers. I understand why Staff can't be banned, but according to Special:ListGroupRights, VSTF and Helpers are simply marked as chatmoderators - not some special chatvstf or chathelper right like Staff has with their chatstaff right.

Since admins can ban chatmods, doesn't that mean that VSTF and Helpers can be banned? Or is there perhaps some code in Wikia's chat that prevents them from being banned? ...Or is it just listed that way so people won't think VSTF and Helpers are bad (since they generally aren't)?

Regardless, I have no plans to ban any from those groups (at least, not unless it's a test ban), but I'm just curious considering the Help pages generally are right and in line with the group rights on Special:ListGroupRights.
