@GiantCowFilms I'm open to hear what you have in mind. (but I'll warn you that starting with a message like the one I'm replying to does not help your cause.)
@ARadish Sure. what do you want it to say? I'll just surrounded it in something like "User requested to be annotated, here is what they wanted to tell all future mods:''insert quote here"."
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ what did you want me to see here?
@GiantCowFilms before you go off and spend a lot of time making chat rules, please hear my thoughts on the whole idea of chat rules.
First off, this room is quite clean. (not just by internet standards, go to any other SE chat room). Sure things may head south a bit every once in so often, but that is almost expected. The "regulars" here have come to know each other, you included, and have made what SE calls "a room culture." Our room culture here is different then any other room. It reflects the site, blender, and each user's feelings and thoughts. You (understandably) don't like profanity, so we keep it out of this room.
ARadish does not like guns. Some of us agreed to disagree, and (with the exception of X-27) don't talk about it. We all hold strong feelings on certain things, that is what makes us who we are, and when we come together, even over the internet with its very limited means of communication in text, we all can still get along - in spite of our differences.
About stricter "control" or rules governing this room. In principal I'm against the idea. Sure we can link to a doc that lays out in general terms that we expect people to be nice, keep it kid friendly etc. But when ever you start trying to ban certain things (like the word that came up today) you wander down a never ending road.
so tomorrow if @X-27 offends us with (yet another) "NUKE THE WORLD" post we add "nukes" to the bad word list. Where do we ever draw a line and say, that is always blocked, or just use our common sense and room culture, and keep away from particular topics / words.
@David The issues is mainly that other mods who address flags want to see a written rule set, otherwise they use their judgment, which can come from a different room culture.
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ That guy woke up one morning and said to himself, yes, I do infact have nothing good to do today.
@GiantCowFilms I know. that is one of the thinks mods have to be very careful of when addressing chat flags outside of their rooms. (which also makes a case for not flagging stuff unless it is really bad.)
But there was one hot hatchback that everything after the front doors had been pushed into the front cabin. The car was literally half its original length. I hope everyone made it out okay D:
@GiantCowFilms but what is someone has to say "man i'm trying to tie this rubber strip around the bottom of my baseball bat so i'm not as tempted to use it as a club."
I probably won't be awake and functional until noon, and thereafter I'll have a bunch of little 20-30 minute breaks from working on my remodeling project.
@someonewithpc dont take it like that. (what else would I rather do then sit here and chat with a bunch of half crazy ranting lunatics. no offense meant) I meant other mods, folks like ArtOfCode, and Doorknob that were here yesterday.
The computer analysis on lichess is awsome. I have discovered an unintentional pattern in my approach, I lose badly until I'm nearly 100% dead, and then swoop in for the kill. In very few games Have I not had a force mate sequence at some point after I have hit rock bottom. Weather I win or not depends on weather I can see the sequence.
@GiantCowFilms that is ok, a higher standard is good. @someonewithpc I disagree we can just hang out and chill, and not be rude or crude while doing so.
however "stripclubs" as a word, and can not be banned. It is possible that the word could be used in a way that is perfectly ok. Say we were talking about how to stop a [you know] from coming in to town.
@GiantCowFilms their reaction to the "stripclub" remark does not surprise me. ask @gandalf3 and @iKlsR I doubt they would of thought it was a bad thing to say there.
@GiantCowFilms I know, like I said you dont want jokes like that. To me it is not a big deal. This whole thing could of been nothing more then "ARadish that bothered me please dont joke in that manor" then there never would of been mods and every thing that transpired.
2) I mute ARadish, but that is a little mean and upsets him. (And doesn't fix the room professionalism problem. (The last time I did that was simply to try and force him into compliance)
I personally don't believe any chat rules are necessary, as long as anyone isn't doing anything illegal, spamming or verbally abusing anyone I trust we can stomach whatever is being posted.

I think @GiantCowFilms that the best idea is to communicate according to your personal convictions, and show your disagreement via the blue flag method. I have seen nothing as bad as you will hear everyday on the job
Okay, @ARadish, There are two options moving forwards. you re-promise not to be offensive, or you get ignored by the cow, and possibly chase the cow out.
@David Now you make me sound like a control freek who wants my own way exactly. Please do not I do infact tollerate what I see as borderline and wish this didn't happen.
@GiantCowFilms I also dont want to be reading/hearing swearing. Yet I dont say anything when somebody else posts one. I just move on to the next message. (it is quite common even in SE chat.)
