Everyone: I'm here right now to address the issue of room owner appointments. I've been discussing it with the mods and we feel that we do not wish to increase the number of room owners without elections on meta. Also, please do not take this as meaning you should go to meta right now and start an election.

> Alright, this is what's up. Everyone in Sci-fi & Fantasy.SE chat will be on their utmost best behavior this weekend. If you see problems brewing, help guide your fellow users back on track. Flag things that need a mod or a CM to clean up. We're going to be super-liberal with suspensions, so behave. Be nice, don't gossip, and stay on topic. If additional chat rooms pop up, please do us all a favor and copy this message in there so people are aware.

The bar for what gets me uncomfortable is currently set to "anything that's gonna get this room locked".

@Praxis Fewer people being jerks is the answer, even if that means putting the worst offenders out the airlock without a space suit.

whoever made me RO, be warned: I'm pretty heavily on the "it wasn't the mods fault that our users can't tell when to shut up" train right now so we're all just gonna sit here and talk about magic and WE WILL ENJOY IT

i'm not entirely sure dizzle ever actually watches any of the things he proclaims to hate. either that, or he just claims to hate everything just to be edgy and cool.

A: Why did our primary chatroom get nuked?

A problem has been festering in SFF's chatroom for some time now. And in spite of the best efforts of your moderators and room owners, it doesn't seem to be going away. I've observed the activity in SFF chat for some time now, and I've come to believe that the problem boils down to a fundamental ...

^^Please read that over. We're migrating back to the old Mos Eisley. I'll leave this chat room open for a bit so discussions here can wrap up, but please head back to the original chat room soon.

Q: What's next for chat

The Story So Far (tm): The main chat for Sci-fi and Fantasy, Mos Eisley, has been slowly creeping out of line with the standard expected of all Stack Exchange chat rooms. This has meant that it has departed from the Be Nice policy, at times, and this has recently come to a head. We want to gui...

my pushback is more that we should be discussing the bigger issues like behavior, rather than what we call ourselves

I'm still curious what happened, but we should probably hash it out on meta instead of here, lest this room gets frozen as well.
