I just thought I'd state that I hope that the issues with the kick and ban buttons will be fixed soon, because it's rather awkward that administrators are no longer seeing the buttons to kick and ban chat moderators. It's also awkward knowing that chat moderators now have the buttons to unban themselves. Up until recently, only administrators and staff could unban themselves, but now it seems that all user-groups with chat moderator permissions can unban themselves.

What's even more awkward is that now chat moderators are able to kick and ban administrators using JavaScript. Sure, administrators can unban themselves, and always could for as long as I can remember knowing about the different user-groups. But that doesn't change the fact that up until recently, a user had to be either an administrator or staff to be able to kick and ban non-administrative user-groups with chat moderator permissions, due to their respective chat admin and chat staff permissions.

Those who know about the different user-groups should hopefully be aware that chat moderators without chat admin or chat staff permissions could only kick and ban user-groups that didn't have any chat moderator abilities.
