What a chat mod needs is authority, someone who can take responsibility in making sure a group of people in chat stay behaved. They have to be active enough in chat, and they can't stay out of a situation when something serious happens, which you normally did by saying "I don't want to get involved in this." Your voice wasn't put out as often as a mod would need to, and if other users could straighten out the conduct as well as a current mod, they'd have to replace them for their leadership. Just going to chat and being cool with everyone doesn't make you mod, you have responsibilities for this. They have to be more connected with the people.
