Nov 28, 2022 at 22:15 comment added Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog There has been a new call from staff regarding additional moderation roles to give out, and I've answered that with a link to this post and a summary. (I left out the part of moderators behaving disruptively, but feel free to comment - I still think that's an important point due to the Charcoal HQ situation that happened in late 2020/early 2021.)

Sep 8, 2021 at 21:11 comment added Adám That's what I thought, and what I agree would make sense. Have my upvote.
Sep 8, 2021 at 21:10 comment added Mithical @Adám - No, these hypothetical mods would not have any power outside of chat. Their sphere of influence would be purely contained to chat.
Sep 8, 2021 at 21:07 comment added Adám Can you clarify if you mean that chat mods should have all the normal mod powers outside chat or not?

Nov 1, 2019 at 14:57 comment added user316129 Sounds like a lot of work, and who is going to set the standards for chat, overall?
Oct 31, 2019 at 17:34 comment added Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog @EmilJeřábek At present, that is just a test.

Oct 31, 2019 at 15:03 comment added Mithical @Rob - What? How is this a duplicate of that? This is a feature request for something that doesn't exist, how can it be a duplicate of an announcement saying that the CoC is going to be applied more in chat?
Oct 31, 2019 at 14:55 comment added Rob Possible duplicate of We're more aggressively enforcing self-moderation in chat
Oct 31, 2019 at 7:38 comment added Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog Yeah, it's not easily done in all cases...but your post says that categorically can't happen, which is incorrect. (In particular, ROs can't re-kick if the user hasn't spoken since the last kick, and after 24 hours the consecutive kick counter resets.)
Oct 31, 2019 at 7:37 comment added Mithical @SonictheReinstateMonica-hog - Yes, but someone who knows that can avoid it. I know of one user in particular who always leaves after two kicks in order to avoid that restriction being applied.
Oct 31, 2019 at 7:23 comment added Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog Actually, it's not quite true that ROs don't have the ability to stop users from creating new rooms. Kicking them three times in a row (so that they're banned for 30 minutes) will also ban them from creating new rooms and inviting users to existing rooms.
Oct 31, 2019 at 6:22 comment added Mithical @PolyGeo - I think that site moderators should have some level of power in chat, especially the ones patented to their site. But I don't think we can depend on them to moderate chat in general, and recent events have proven that there does need to be some way to moderate the moderators.
Oct 31, 2019 at 6:19 comment added Mithical @Drew - staff members, which I outlined in the post

Oct 31, 2019 at 1:08 comment added Suvitruf - Andrei Apanasik @Rubiksmoose oh, yeah. Flags from the other chats are pain...
Oct 31, 2019 at 1:08 comment added PolyGeo If the chat moderators are to be super moderators then I could not vote for this. If you are proposing a separation of chat moderators and Q&A moderators with complementary powers then I might.
Oct 31, 2019 at 1:05 comment added Rubiksmoose @SuvitrufsaysReinstateMonica Though chat flags still go out to all diamonds everywhere. This part of chat moderation, at the very least, is mechanically worse than useless IMHO. So even in the chats that do work well (I think RPG's is also a great one), there are still issues.
Oct 31, 2019 at 0:43 comment added Suvitruf - Andrei Apanasik "And... basically? It doesn't" Don't generalize. For example, on ruSO we have mods and Room owners. And we don't have such issue.
Oct 31, 2019 at 0:40 comment added W.O. Perhaps not in the last month or so, but there was a time a few months ago when there might be half a dozen chat rooms created per day on worldbuilding.se (a minor site among the 173 sites on the network), the workload would hardly seem insignificant. As to validity - I agree, I've not voted yet.
Oct 31, 2019 at 0:39 comment added Mithical @PolyGeo - not necessarily. Someone should be able to become a chat moderator without also being a site moderator, because the skills needed differ greatly. However, one should not preclude the other.
Oct 31, 2019 at 0:37 comment added PolyGeo Are you saying that these chat moderators would have no moderator powers beyond moderating chat?
Oct 31, 2019 at 0:31 history edited Alex CC BY-SA 4.0
Grammar.
Oct 31, 2019 at 0:15 comment added Mithical @Weare - I'm not sure what you mean. I don't see any reason why the time commitment would be different from a site moderator - up to the individual how much time they want to invest in it. As for more pressing issues.... so? Whether or not there are more pressing issues shouldn't matter to the validity of a suggestion itself.
Oct 30, 2019 at 23:26 comment added W.O. Do you have the stats to indicate the volume of reading/time commitment required? It seems to me that there are more long-term issues which need to be resolved before equivocation about moderating chattiness becomes pressing.
