Once again, I will decide how to deal with chat moderators on my wiki. I don't want other people doing that for me. If you have different views, that's great, but it's not going to change how I want to perform my job.

And as for "choosing good chat moderators," that is just blatantly incorrect. Obviously, I'm not a part of every community and obviously I can't speak for them all, but I've been on wikia since 2009 and  I have been a member of several wikis and never once has the ability to kick and ban chat moderators hindered in the wiki's ability to find suitable moderators. And misbehaving, for me and my wiki, isn't a normal problem. We have never had to moderate our chat mods in case they did something wrong. However, they are people, and they make mistakes. Sometimes, the response to those mistakes that I find appropriate is to kick them from chat.

Also, your claim that kicking chat mods is "ignoring the problem" is just so completely absurd. As I have said several times, I have never had an issue with a chat moderator who refused to behave after a kick, so obviously it's not ignoring the problem, it's a tool to help solve a problem.

I'm honestly getting tired of you seemingly passively telling me the "appropriate" way to deal with a chat mod who misbehaves. I administrate my wiki my way, you administrate your wiki your way. If you personally don't like to kick chat moderators and use other methods to respond to one that does something wrong, then by all means, do it. Don't tell me to do it.

Edit: tbh Ursuul, this argument is just going in circles and I have things to do, so I'd like to end it here if you don't mind. Let's just agree to disagree.
