I agree that we need to focus on timezones. I have no idea who is moderating the chat when I'm sleeping or offline in the morning. So, that is a good 8-12 hours that might be unmoderated. I'm in the Pacific time zone, and I almost always see a chat mod in the chat room at least up to 11:00pm to midnight. After that, I don't know who's moderating chat. We need some chat mods from the European time zones and Australian time zones. It's good that you are setting up a bot. We do really need something like that, so I'm glad you are the one to set it up.

For now, here is a draft of requirements changes for chat mod:

Requirements
The minimum requirements for becoming a chat moderator are:...
 * ... You have been a registered member on the wiki for at least three months.
 * ... You have not been site-blocked or chat-banned for a period of at least three months.
 * ... You have been continuously active on the wiki's chat.
 * ... You must be familiar with the wiki's editing policies and practices.
 * ... You have been seen helpful around the community and an overall mature individual.

I removed two points, one was the edit requirement, and the other was needing an endorsement from an admin. I don't think an endorsement from an admin is needed in this case.
