Y'know what'd be nice, now that we've got this chat room that's supposed to have a whole bunch of site mods in one place and accessible to the public?
Make it so that the user's icon in the room list can expand into a mini profile on mouse-over, that includes a list of the sites where that user is a mod.

@Iszi I think it does if you click it

@Iszi Indeed, we all have our info filled in

Oh, there it is.
Mouse-over would be cooler, but thanks!
I'd expect clicking to do something more functional, like pre-populate an at-mention.
Also, it seems that the "xyz moderator" bits are not a part of the feature. It's something the users have put in their own profile by choice.
Or, someone else has done it manually for them.
@IvoFlipse's profile says "Super User & Fitness moderator!"
@Ninefingers' says "Crypto Moderator"
@RoryAlsop's says Moderator on security.stackexchange.com"

Everyone should have it - mods are encouraged to sort it sooner rather than later

@Iszi We just copied each other, but the team told us to fill it in
@Iszi Go suggest it on MSO if you think they should

My proposal is to have it as a function of the system, rather than the user option.
It'll also help add some uniformity.
Oh, look! I just became moderator of my own fictitious SE!

@BenBrocka has no mention of his sites.
Of course, this would sort-of end up tying in with the age old question of whether SEI employees should have special labels - since they're technically moderators of all and (mostly) none at the same time.

@Iszi Some mods didn't get the memo :)

@Iszi Huh?

Fixed mine @Iszi - have gone with the format @Ivo and @Nine have used
@BenBrocka If you click on your user name at the left, you can edit your chat user info
to include Moderator of x site
to make it easy for other folks in chat to understand your focus

Oh, didn't even know about the chat About field

@BenBrocka Nor did I until I become a mod.
I didn't even know we were supposed to have them, I just copied everyone else.
 
1 hour later…

@BenBrocka Neither did I. I thought, if there was such a field at all, it would be populated from my parent site profile.
