Chat moderators are just people with extra tools in chat, they're not meant to have an "authority" figure there. The fact there is a star next to chat mods should be enough to say that they mean something.

Moderators are meant to uphold the Terms of Service. That means they are allowed to tell users that they are not allowed to swear, spam, etc, and if they have to silence or ban users in order to do that, then they should. Fact of the matter is, moderators ARE the authority over common users.

Unless, of course, the definition of "moderator" suddenly changed last night.
