I'm getting a bit annoyed when players yell "MOD THERES CAMPER" and it clearly says that there's no staff online so I've decided to give a brief explaination on what this rank holds.

We are chatmods, not normal ArenaPvP staff members. We don't have the luxury of kicking campers or having our chat spammed by reports. We only mod chat. I repeat, we only mod chat. But let's say you don't care what we're supposed to do and yell out shit like the example shown above. We could notify ArenaPvP moderators about it but by the time we actually get to that stage, it'll probably be too late. On the other hand, if a hacker shows up and beats the hell out of players for 10 minutes, we could easily alert ArenaPvP staff (or you could report them).

Extra things I thought I should cover up:

- When we mod chat, we only mod chat. If you yell "MODS SPEC", we will mute you and nothing more. My point is do not get mad at us and report us for staff abuse when we only punish you.
- We don't see reports. We don't know who's hacking and when unless you tell us via ./msg.
- You don't apply for ChatMod (pretty obvious IMO). ChatMod basically means that we are staff from other parts of the network and have learned about chat punishments via getting promoted from trainee.

Hope it helped clear some confusion. This rank is relatively new and I hope you learn something from this.
