If you attempt to join the chat and you instead get the message, "Permission Error: You do not have permission to access this page", you may safely assume you've been chat banned. [[Special:Logs]] will provide you with details of who banned you. You can attempt to talk to them about why they took their stance. | If you attempt to join the chat and you instead get the message, "Permission Error: You do not have permission to access this page", you may safely assume you've been chat banned.

All [[project:administrators|administrators]] of the wiki are by default chat moderators. However, administrators shall be at liberty to designate anyone they see fit to act as a chat moderator. Such endowment allows the moderator some level of administrative control over the chat room, including the ability to kick (and, indeed, ban) people from the chat. Chat moderators shall enforce the rules set forth on this page to the best of their abilities. If they have to take disciplinary actions against any user, they are '''obliged''' to keep a record of their activities at [[Tardis:Chat blacklist]]. | All [[project:administrators|administrators]] of the wiki are by default chat moderators.

Extension of moderator status is temporary and may be withdrawn at any time. In any dispute between an administrator and a moderator, the administrator's judgement shall be deemed superior. However, such disputes should be handled in a private chat rather than an open channel. In general, administrators should defer to moderators in the public channel. If an administrator is generally unsatisfied with a moderator's judgement, moderator rights should simply be withdrawn. | Extension of moderator status is temporary and may be withdrawn at any time.

*If you ban a person with moderator rights, that banning does not apply until they next attempt to log in. In other words, here is no way to "kick" a moderator. Also, if you withdraw moderator status, it doesn't happen immediately. That user loses their status only by leaving the chat of their own choice. | *If you ban a person with moderator rights, that banning does not apply until they next attempt to log in.
