@XanderHenderson -.-

@XanderHenderson That wouldn't be as sneaky. (Real answer is I have no idea).

@Med_Reda I am here, mostly in spirit- sometimes in earnest.

@wizzwizz4 With the power of copy and pasting transcript links my power to collect feedback is INFINITE!!

@wizzwizz4 I know we are still doing a lot to work on some of the funny business, but I will log this feedback.

@wizzwizz4 What is wrong?

@XanderHenderson I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard, but I totally know Russian. Believe me, droog. Spokoynoy nochi, Xander!

@XanderHenderson priviet tovarich

@Otaku that can't be comfortable. Have you tried hanging out on a chair? Much better user experience.

@Otaku :Looks around my office: You are nearby?

@wizzwizz4 I have to warn you :lowers sunglasses: I'm a slow reader.

@wizzwizz4 Its something I can bring up to the team. Maybe this is more of a chat counterpart to the "Expected Behavior" article in the help center?

This conversation is making my brain fold as a Trust & Safety professional.

@XanderHenderson This earned a sensible chuckle from me. If only we had a sensible chuckle emoji.

@wizzwizz4 That's a really solid list! I would personally plug read the CoC into number 3, but I may be biased as I helped write it.

@wizzwizz4 ohh yes, replies help with readability SO MUCH!

@wizzwizz4 That's fair. On one hand, I can see how that is a disconnect, but I also see a benefit to some less structured spaces. If you were showing a friend chat for the first time, what would be your quick introduction or caveats you would introduce to them first?

And if you are a newer user reading this, what kind of interactions would encourage you to keep coming back to chat?

Howdy y'all, popping in to ask the next question of the day. This one is inspired by the recent meta post by @EmmaBee . I'm curious as to what could be done for the new users who decide to stick around. Sometimes we have seen it can take people a while to get up to speed, What do you think we can do to better assist people integrating into our chatrooms and our chat culture?

@XanderHenderson quick mafs

@Spevacus Let me poke @Dalmarus about this. He is currently out, but once he is back, I will pester him on your behalf.

@wizzwizz4 huh, it is in three places. I will make sure to run this by the team to see what the plan is.

Outside of my regal duties I also wanted to pop in to discuss chat with everyone, much like @CodeBender did yesterday. I wanted to discuss features with the room.

Slip Sine 5 bucks

@Spevacus nuh uh. I was fairly elected- but the votes were private.

@Mithical These are good points. I will take responsibility for this one. I was not aware that a UI change would impact Charcoal. I will make sure this is a consideration for UI changes as well moving forward.

@ThomasWard I went to the smarter guy

That's like my partner with mosquitos, she valiantly takes all the bites and is allergic to them. I get bitten probably at 1/10 the rate, I live a charmed life.

I googled midges and gained a new fear. Some of those swarm attack photos look comically bad. I thought the isles would have less bugs!

@RoryAlsop looks like I have my itinerary set for my eventual Scotland trip! Thanks a bunch Rory. What time of year do you suggest?
