If the user is a new user, it would be rather unfair to ban the user for longer just because there are no moderators around. However, if a user who has entered chat for a long time purposefully commits a violation simply because there is no moderators allowed, he should be banned for one week rather than the actual ban time.

However, I do want to point out that the GD chat has started to prosper and become active 24/7, something I had strived for ever since I joined. There should be at least one moderator on chat at all times, and this is possible as the chat is usually crowded with trustworthy users.

To figure out if we have a good staff, I recommend creating a page that the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki is desperately tried to create, failed, and abandoned. Check it out here. I recommend starting a page by starting to model the page this way. Current staff can list APPROXIMATELY what times they are available on the wiki (listing the UTC time) and making sure that all slots throughout the day are filled in by at least one user (if not two when one is unavailable). If not, I recommend nominating more users that we can trust who can easily fill in the gaps.
