I used to be a moderator on chat.lycos.co.uk and I advise anyone who even THINKS about letting their kids on their to not bother, the moderators used to have to pass a police check, and pass a exam on technical and moral questions marked by three higher moderators.

Since I left in 2004 the standard of moderating has gone down pan since the liquidation of the old chatteam, moderators are added in a mentor scheme which means moderators add their friends, who then spend more time in private moderator channels then keeping out perverts and stopping fights.

The whole system takes a while to get used to, but it is about as reliable as a Ford Escort 1.3L from 1970.
