a staff group that monitor chat in game and in the forums!
(they only get to mute/unmute and ban from servers, or just half op)
so as a chat moderator you job is to:
A.) Monitor the chat in game such as in tourneys or just normally in public rooms and make sure people aren't flaming and such.
Would essentially be a live report function, which isn't feasible. No one has that kind of time on their hands. And who's to say the ones that do are ready for any kind of staff involvement.

B.) Make sure that there isn't any sort of flaming or slurs or anything on the forums.
What I'm reading is just that it should be easier to report people ingame.
Which I can somewhat agree with. Get instances of flaming or whatever into the hands of those that can do something about it faster. If you want to pursue this idea, it should be more along these lines, to get something done about it.

C.) Respond to flaming reports on the reports board
These are already responded to appropriately by other staff groups. Namely Super Moderators.

D.) STAY ON THE #SUPPORT IRC
This is already something that all staff should be doing, particularly help squad. If you feel this is an issue then it's probably easiest to treat it as a separate one, in the vein of a complaint.

E.) Keep the chat away from sensitive topics and keep it wholesome, nobody wants to hear uh, unwholesome things
In public servers. And again, comes back to an easier report function. We're aware of the average age range of users playing this game.

Thank you for reading my idea, I hope it'll be implemented (or at least thought of in future)
It's incredibly unlikely that a new staff group will be made for this purpose. If anything it could highlight a need that we could fix, but your current suggestion doesn't warrant a staff group to fix it.

New chat moderator recruits have to pm an admin/smod/chat mod member, similar to applying for HS,ES AND CS.

Thanks for reading!
