Here is the parent and related thread, if you have not read this please read it as it may answer any questions you have. If you still have questions, please ask on that thread, thank you! 

The main question for this thread is how low we should set the chat moderator edit requirement, below are the following arguments and counterstatements. If you agree with lowering the chat moderator edit count to 200 edits, post " "
 * 400 edits - The chat edit count can be lowered but it shouldn't be lowered too much or every user will become a chat moderator, resulting in a surplus of staff and at the same time result in unexperienced users becoming chat mods.
 * Counter - Assuming every chat user will become a chat moderator or we will have an influx of unexperienced chat moderators assumes that our nomination process is flawed. Perhaps admins should use other considerations for approving and promoting chat moderators rather than edit count, such as time spent on wiki, general user experience, and not to mention time zone and location.
 * 200 edits - For a staff position that requires virtually no wiki interaction, it is odd as to why this position requires such a high amount of edits. Larger and more popular wikis such as the Steven Universe Wiki require a merely 100 edits to be chat moderator and at the same experience an issue with understaffing of chat moderators.
 * Counter - Steven Universe Wiki is an extremely active wiki where edits are hard to get because of its canon and swiftly edited content, while we are a wiki where users can limitlessly create pages, threads, and anything they want to, which accumulates quickly. Not to mention Steven Universe Wiki has a much different government set up than we do in which admins and bureaucrats have more of a say in what is going on due to their extremely large user base, where here users are generally entrusted to collectively make these kinds of decisions.
