If they cannot maintain their composure (or worse, literally not care as you say in an example), even after being warned about their behavior, then they seem to be too unstable to moderate others. If it was a normal user I’d agree with you, not listening once isn’t worth a Chat Ban or Block, but Moderators are expected to be the people keeping others in check, not the ones who need to be kept in check. Normally I’d agree here too, since in my opinion you need a “why,” not simply a “why not,” before taking away Administrative Tools. However, in this case I have a why; that being, that this will pressure Administrators into choosing good Chat Moderators who are self-sufficient & not requiring oversight in order to Moderate properly (after all, if you have to stay in Chat to watch your Moderators, then what’s the point in having Moderators?). By taking away the ability to ignore the problem posed by Moderators who can easily disregard Community Policies, it will encourage Administrators to make better decisions.
