Even though I'm a mod on Engineering, I don't see mod chat flags when I'm in chat.SO or chat.MSE. And I don't even see chat flags on those two sites as I don't have sufficient rep. The point of my post isn't about how people interact but rather in the number of moderators available to handle flags as they come up. | |
| Dec 10, 2015 at 21:24 | comment | added | Travis J | @Shog9 - I believe you see that because it isn't that mods don't know what to do or are not willing to take action - it is that they are all standing around trying to figure out the why in that situation. Why should we take action right now, and that often requires a lot of reading, especially when some rooms are producing thousands of messages per day. | |
| Dec 10, 2015 at 21:22 | comment | added | Travis J | I disagree with the premise of this answer, the "divided nature of chat" is nice to say but is incorrect. That chat is hosted in several places has nothing to do with how people interact there. | |
| Dec 10, 2015 at 19:21 | comment | added | user194162 | @Shog9 - I hope my suggestion doesn't come across as implying it's a silver bullet to solve all of chat's problems. You had asked "what have I overlooked?", and I think this is one aspect of that puzzle. But it's just an aspect that I think was overlooked, that's all. More mods available across all of the rooms increases the odds that there will be a mod available that's willing and ready to wade through the problems of the moment. | |

| Dec 10, 2015 at 4:34 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | There's a reason I posted this on MSE: these problems are hardly absent on chat.stackexchange.com. Having more mods in chat certainly makes some things easier... But I routinely see the same whining and gnashing of teeth in chat.se rooms, routinely see mods paralyzed with indecision in the face of problems; often, the biggest difference is simply the shear number of moderators standing around in confusion. It doesn't take an army of mods to moderate chat; it does take at least a few who know what to do and are willing to do it. | |

| Dec 10, 2015 at 1:31 | comment | added | Taryn StaffMod | I would increase the number of rooms on SO. While we might have about 26 really active rooms, there are a lot of other rooms that might have inappropriate activity that can go unnoticed until someone flags it for attention. I know you swagged the numbers but I wanted to point it out. | |
