Also chat has so much lag I am sometimes hesitant of using my powers because the user might have repentant and I can't see it. But you can do that without being a chat moderator..... and they will have no reason to actually listen to you if you're not a chat moderator. Chat moderators (and no other staff member) is above anyone else, we are all equal, this bullcrap that you are above someone else means you are a bad moderator and have no right to have a flag of extra tools.

Sajuuk, you're misinterpreting what Pink Slim is trying to say. Users will be more likely to listen to staff as said user knows that the staff have the power to stop them through force. It's not because the staff is "superior", it's because they have powers that regular users don't. If you want an analogy, pretend you're standing outside a store. A guy tells you to stop loitering, will you listen? Probably not, because he's just a random guy, right? But if a police officer tells you to stop loitering, do you stop? Yeah, you probably would.
