Description

We have some people in community who are active, open and can be relied upon mitigation of destructive behavior in chats. Some usual chat tools like vote-kicking are effective but very easy to abuse, so limiting their usage to trusted members might be a good way to avoid their pitfalls.

If karma system is expected to be opaque, we can even allow specified people to start vote-kick and provide everyone with vote buttons, but count only votes of people with enough carma level.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing karma system and chat moderation or vote-kick handling, then determine where permissions and vote counting are defined. Done should mean the proposed trusted-member moderation behavior is specified and consistently enforced without making vote-kicking broadly abusable.
