of LSD were hand-picked by the osu! team from the community to act as s for lower-traffic communities and subforums. Unlike Global s, they did not have features like coloured nicknames, or custom forum titles. On IRC, however, they were operators and could apply silences.

The LSD also served as an intermediary group for promising pending ission into the Global Moderation Team at times, as the two groups generally shared a common goal and similar skill sets.

Profile page of a chat in 2013

After a staff restructuring in 2013, the Language Surveillance Division was renamed as the Chat s and received its own listing.

On August 20, 2015, the Chat s and Global Moderation teams were merged, effectively giving all s distinctive red nicknames in chat and management power over the whole forum.
