I was tempted to mention this chatroom as another channel to reach out to moderators in comments to this question: What to do if I disagree with a moderator decision?.
But it is probably up to the moderators to decide whether they want to advertise this room or not.
 
true

In the meantime, chat was mentioned in an answer to that post. Although not this room explicitly.
"If you want to try something between flagging and contacting SE directly, then you can try to catch a moderator in chat."
 
4:15 PM
Esteemed council of purveyors of moderation, might I inquire on the nature of follow-ups on my request (if any), and the expected timeframe?

@Jyrki: Where do you think Alice is going to go? Is she God?
 
@Asaf: I don't know. Either she is AI or bio-enhanced (or both). Did a new strip appear today?
 
@JyrkiLahtonen No. :(
 
6:36 PM
Alice?
 
@DanielFischer Yes. Not the one that is in chains.
 
Then the one in Wonderland.
Or Cooper?
But he's a he, so it must be Wonderland.
 
Parents who would name their son "Alice" are just plain mean.
 
Me and you and a boy named Sue ;)
 
yep :)
 
6:41 PM
But I think Alice Cooper is a nom de plume.
 
@Asaf: I think we will see more of the Vicissitude siblings learning about the Grove. Alice's true nature won't be revealed any time soon.
 
@DanielFischer That is correct.
 
rejoices
 
I have strange feeling that Daniel Fischer's advice is being ignored in this room.

If you two want to chit-chat, take it to the main chatroom.
 
@MartinSleziak Which advice? "Just say no"?

@JyrkiLahtonen I guess we'll have to wait and see.
 
Since there are several mods here, I just want to check whether somebody from the moderators team noticed the two requests for removal of tag synonyms.
 
the one about "fractions"?
 
and the other one about
 
hmm...
very important school topics
handle with care

Duly noted.
 
no need to take notes, a record of the transcript will be sent to you in the mail
 
Thanks @Jyrki.
I just wanted to confirm that somebody on the moderators' team noticed them.
As you were.
See you later, guys!
 
6:53 PM
later pal
 
@MartinSleziak? My comment was in response to the advice about chit-chat. God, I should chat more. I don't even know the basics.
 
@JyrkiLahtonen You type into the box, then click "send" or press "return".
Try not to say too many profanities, for chrissake. Some people might be offended, dammit.
 
and don't feed the trolls :-)
 
@Lord_Farin: The only true protection against the thought police is aluminum foil hats.

@Asaf Suffice it to say I'm not in the mood.
 
7:16 PM
@Lord_Farin After catching up on meta, I see what happened.
I have no idea why someone would take offense with that comment.
It was a terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible ... idea.

The best defense is to get easily offended...
 
@JyrkiLahtonen As far as the chit-chat in this room is concerned, it's not really my business. This room was crated by Arthuer and moderators should be in charge here.
I just think it would be rather unfortunate if some stuff that really needs attention of mods would get unnoticed because of other conversations, which are unrelated to moderating the site.
I should learn to type: ^created, ^Arthur.

@Lord_Farin, from what I can see, the user involved was a squeaky wheel from the start; the worst explosion on MO was probably the time an engineer at a Harvard lab asked a question involving lots of jargon, got angry when everyone said this is not mathematics, said everyone at his lab is a mathematician and they all know the material...complaints went pretty far. More about belief that a person is part of the community of mathematicians, and entitled, than anything else.
 
@MartinSleziak If you support univalent foundations you can always use homotopy type theory to claim that the typos are just homotopic to the correct spelling!
 
@Lord_Farin, the other memory was from a similar background to this guy, a headhunter for financial firms who insisted on placing advertisements for what he termed an "algo" on MO. He just kept at it, cared nothing for the expressed purposes of the site, to him this was a way to make money, find employees for his clients.
