I spoke with Roresu before about how promoting chat mods is a committee decision since he was unaware before promoting Yap. However, I didn't not dispute his decision because Yap has proven to be a helpful contributing member in both editing and the chat room. Yap needed some guidance here, because as "harmless" as a kick can be, it's still viewed as an act of power and should carefully be considered and not used on a whim.

I've already spoke with Yap about how his role, and that of the other chat mods, is to help the community grow and learn, by being good examples and point out to chatters the rules when they step out of line, in order to keep the place cleaner, safe and friendly (via warning). As always, mods should use their best judgement about when to kick/ban.

Chat mods, you guys should all work together and correct one another, but feel free to involve an admin too. If a chat mod is getting out of hand, then definitely bring it to our attention.

Remember that patience is probably the strongest virtue that we ask of our mods.
