This is a unique mode where the features of open chat are coupled with the features of moderated chat. When invoked, the chat interface has 2 chat text input fields. The bottom chat text input field is used for submissions to the main chat window. The top chat text input field is used for submissions to a moderator. Open moderation allows users to chat freely in the main chat room, as well as to submit questions to a moderator or speaker who, in turn, submit an answer to the submitted questions. Questions and answers display together in the main chat window as you find with moderated chat mode.
