Future tone of chat poll

[NotMiki]

if it's enough to offend or bother someone, shouldn't that be enough for them to feel like they can say something to someone about it?

Indeed.  I envision is an entirely subjective rule on obscenity; if something actually offends someone it's a legitimate target of moderation.  If it doesn't offend anyone, no matter what kind of language is used, it's not.  The point is that we get along.  And if the rule itself proves to be a point of contention, we change it.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Option 1 is how DL chat has been de facto ran over the years, and we'll stick with that. We're altering ops slightly (Me as chat owner, Grefter/Tal/Elfboy/Dune as normal ops). I'll put up a new IRC topic sometime today.

I am worried about Elfboy being opped because fuck you that's why.

Better NEB than a damn, dirty, no-good Communist.

Better NEB than cocks in my sass.

[Hunter Sopko]

Your sass has seen better days. It's played out and tired at this point.

Shouldn't Tal be chat owner?

(Because A: Tal is admin, B: I feel like the admin should be the most coolheaded of the bunch that won't make decisions too hastily; I don't know Tal that well, but my gut is that he's probably the most coolheaded un-hasty of that group).

[superaielman]

I'll pass it to tal if he really wants it or if there's need, but I don't think it matters too much.

[Luther Lansfeld]

It seems like a non-issue to me.

There's a valid question of how much worth channel ownership is.

I'm pretty sure if the group at large strongly disagreed with an owner's decisions or the owner did something ridiculous, that the DL would either move to another server or just open another marginally different name room on the same server.

To put it another way, we probably put more overall trust in the Lunarnet staff than we do a chat owner. At most, a chat owner can cause inconvenience. It's pretty minor. (Well, past being an op anyways. And I suppose you could say they have control over who becomes ops, except I think that's being discussed in general so whatever.)

Not that I'm arguing if people want to microanalyze who should be chat owner, mind you. (One could argue that decentralizing power is a valid move as well.)

I personally don't really care either way but if people really think I should have it I'll take it.

I'd be willing to bet that between facebook email and phone numbers the DL could reconstruct itself even if the site and chatroom blew up simultaneously.
