Forum:Restructuring Chat moderator requests

This thread has been started as a direct response to this thread, which proposed a temporary closing of Chat moderator requests, subject to reforms to the promotion process. That thread addressed only the shutdown of the requests, not the changes that would be made after the requests were shut down. Since that thread was successful in its goal, a second discussion - what to do to change Chat Moderator requests - should now be held.

For the sake of keeping the introductory section to this thread short, I'll refrain from copy/pasting over discussions or points from the initial thread. A number of proposals and statements were made there, so it would be worth reading the first thread. Of course, those who made the proposals there are encouraged to re-state them here, and any other proposals by anyone else are more than welcome.
