And yes, it is a critical position. This is Communtiy Central, the hub of all of Wikia! Serving here is a very serious task, and is performed with the highest of respnnsibilty.

As I serve on both teams, I can assure you that the second paragraph you wrote isn't accurate. The admins here and the VSTF have entirely different jurisdictions. Staff may get involved on occasion, but we mostly operate independently. Though, we do notify staff of any important actions we may take.

Have you ever paused to think why they get such constant criticism? It's cause they're not very good at what they do. I'm not undermining their efforts as users, but as chat moderators, their skills are lackluster.

I'm inclined to disagree on the VSTF and Staff not taking over for admins in some cases here on CC, but you have a point about the different jurisdictions. However, if I'm not mistaken, VSTF and Staff will still moderate the chat here if they're on, and that's not something you can deny, as you've likely done it yourself.
