I know this has been brought up before, but I do think it would be good for players like me, that don't play that much on the server, but are active on forums. For myself, I'm definitely a bit young to become mod although I know many players than would be very eligible and adequate choices. It would be a fairly minor position, although I think it would be a good way to introduce new players into the staffing/moderating section of Safe Survival. It would most likely include the stuff that normal staff get on forums. Although Chat Mod is pretty much the same, maybe we could have a subsection of the Chat Mods, The Forum Mods, The Discord Mods, and the Plug DJ Mods. While all these names might seem a bit excessive, and a lot of work overall. I think it would improve the experience overall. It might also ease the tension between players and moderators.
Also: Sorry for how hazardously written and nonsensical this paragraph is. My ADHD is terrible.

I don't think an environment where "staff" is divided into smaller roles (as you say ingame mod and forum mod) would improve the experience at all. All it does is causing extra management by the rest of the mod team. Forum moderating focus on a few things and to name 2 of them: keeping discussions civil, resolving problems mainly happening ingame. That last one is where the extra management comes into play cause you can't resolve ingame issues if you are just a forum mod and not ingame (issues like ban appeals, greifs, etc). Also it causes confusion on what roll you have if you are not an ingame mod but you are on the forums. Being a mod should come with a package of responsibilities and tasks, which for the size of safe survival should be ingame and forum moderation.

(adding on to nekkids post)
also, forum mods wouldn't be able to read the ban appeals and do anything about them, other than like, alert the ingame mods like nekkid said. also, all they could really do there is like, "dont post on ban appeals that you arent involved in" besides, discord mods ARE ingame mods. i think the big ingame staff team can cover everything like plugdj, discord, and forums
also those smaller staff roles would mean way too many staff x.x

It's a nice idea in theory, to have niche roles in the staff team but we are a smaller server, relatively speaking. The forums don't experience enough traffic to really warrant moderators specific to them, same for the branches of the server (Plug.DJ and Discord, namely).
Now, if we were one of those servers that gets, idk, 200+ players daily in-game and around our other platforms, I'd be more in support of the idea. The way the team is set up currently allows for all of these to be well monitored, with the Plug.DJ itself being one of the least popular platforms outside of random peak times.
