But a presence of a Moderator does deter a "criminal" because they know someone
is watching, if they can't see anyone online they think they are free to do what they wish and sometimes will get away with it because a moderator might actually be idle for like 5 minutes or w.e and not see what happens but if they are online and howing in the whos online it sends a message of "dont fuck around a mod is online"

But the benefit of the presence of moderators will mostly impact the ChatBox
and it will help members know who to contact because they will be able to see
who is online at the time they need the help and not spam all the mods with
the same message asking for help.
