Can we change the comment-flag system on The Heap chatroom?

Yesterday (April 1st, April Fools Day notwithstanding) we had some high-ranking members of DBA.SE banned from chat by moderators/10k users from other sites that did not take an appropriate amount of time to evaluate the situation. The Heap is a place where many 10k+ users hang out and talk about many subjects, some which may seem to outsiders as offensive. Much along the lines of what happens in the SO C++ room - we banter about and have a bit of fun, occasionally poking fun at each other.

From the transcript of the room (http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/179/2013/4/2) it appears we need to self-moderate the room, perhaps only allowing outside mods/10k users to delete/ban if there are no DBA.SE mods/10k+ users present.
