The chat moderator flag simply gives me extra tools to help the wiki chat, it does NOT immediately make me a role model for this wiki and I wish people would stop saying that a flag makes you a role model! They are there to give users extra tools, NOTHING MORE! If a chat moderator does something which is socially unacceptable, or which breaks rules, regular users are going to think that it's okay. That may not be the way you want things to work, but two duties of the chat moderator are:


 * Maintain an overall mature and friendly demeanor when interacting with other users.

If you're not doing this, you're disobeying your duties, so there's no point to being a chat moderator. If you think another moderator is breaking this duty, that's a debate for another day, but belittling fairly reasonable reasons for your demotion and calling it hilarious is not mature. Nor is this sort of thing mature: here here


 * Resolving conflict diplomatically

For those who don't know, diplomatically means "tactful imply ability to avoid offending others or hurting their feelings, especially in situations where this ability is important." your speak your mind attitude, while it has its uses, breaks this duty.

While you say you don't have to be a role model, you do need to do so to the point where you can obey the set duties properly. Sorry to say, I, I don't do this as I support Tail's reasoning, I do this as I support the duties and rules set in chat, and oppose those who break them.
