Site Chat Behavior Expectations-General Discussion Standard

zoraster · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed Aug 17, 2016 8:24 am

Please note that Site Chat is held to the same behavioral policies as

General Discussion

, not the Speakeasy. Discussions of mature topics such as, but not limited to, discussions about sex, should be held in the Speakeasy -- if at all.

In addition, I am going to attempt to empower the site chat mods to be more proactive. Expect warnings and temporary bans from site chat mods more quickly and on a broader set than you might expect on the site as a whole. I am asking them to err on the side of over-action for the time being.

Just not with most symbols.

Yeah. I should probably amend this: if it's a publicly accessible room, it's GD. If any user can just join it, it's public. If you want to create a private chat room with a password or talk 1v1, we're not generally going to police those.

yeah although that's true of PMs and such too.

We've been over this. If you want "cesspool" the internet is a wide and large.

Are you talking to me? I didn't just start this thread out of nowhere, chamber.

On an unrelated note, I've moved things around so that global announcements are no longer put into a mafia forum where editing, etc. isn't allowed (this was only really a problem if you used ego post to get to it. If you accessed it through another forum, it'd use those permissions).

The biggest benefit (to my eyes) is that clicking the "go to first unread post" should now work, but we'll see.

but this time it didn't. jeez. no idea. at the very least, now users should be able to edit their posts without having to access it a different way.

In post 79, Espeonage wrote:Just going to point out that Sitechat has at times had mature discussions about sex when minors either weren't present or not making themselves known. Which is partially negligent, but I think also an indicator that a speakeasy only chat is good ideas.

On that note, can't we just take it upon ourselves to make a SE chat room?

No.
