Jan 14, 2017 at 3:42 comment added Wildcard @hichris123, actually, it's interesting—because saying "not cool" for offensive comments is exactly the wrong behavior on the main site. The correct response there is, "flag, do not engage, do not respond, move on." Perhaps there is a distinction that should be made for chat.

Dec 12, 2015 at 4:10 comment added mbomb007 I like the idea of having a "poke" option in addition to "flag". Sometimes I feel that a flag is too strong for a comment containing potentially offensive language uses in a less offensive context. Profane words on a monitor at work in general can be a negative, so even if not flag-worthy, a poke option would be nice.

Dec 11, 2015 at 14:24 comment added sysadmin1138 Of all the answers I've read so far, this comes closest to identifying the core of the problem. Unless the moderation is obvious, people will assume that it's just a bunch of people talking and use those social-rules to identify good/bad behavior. FAQ-changes just tell people they don't have justification for being butt-hurt about something, it doesn't fix the butt-hurt. Crowd-based chat-norming is how just a bunch of people determine good/bad, and we should design our UX to work with that.
Dec 10, 2015 at 22:32 comment added hichris123 Yeah, I do wish that we'd see more of the "not cool" comments when something goes over the line. If no one speaks up, it only exacerbates the problem. I think that this does happen though -- just in those cases, no drama occurs. :)
Dec 10, 2015 at 21:24 comment added Matt Giltaji I've always wanted a button to send a "ಠ_ಠ" through chat as a lightweight poke
