MoS forums - New Requirements

This page is an archive. Please do not edit the contents of this page. Comment: opposed, and no longer relevant since there's no chatmod right (and should never have been in the MoS section in the first place) Have you ever been on chat and then suddenly everyone starts talking about something exciting and then everything stops... and five minutes later... I think this happens way to much and it gets so awkward especially for new users who want to get to know the community better. That is why I am suggesting a new requirement for mods: Must be able to make conversation. That would make it so where it isn't awkward and uncomfortable. Mods are so supposed to be people built around moderating chat where many new users go to when first coming to the wiki. It shouldn't be uncomfortable for them because mods are technically supposed to be the helpers in chat and not people who sit around until something bad happens. What are your thoughts on the new requirement? klagoer 16:38, December 28, 2012 (UTC) Good idea. I never thought of that, but who would be the judge of the "maker of conversation"? User:Darth henry/Sig 16:44, December 28, 2012 (UTC) A mod would step in and make conversation about maybe something interesting or a new LEGO set or something along those lines. This would only need to happen if there is awkward silence. klagoer 16:47, December 28, 2012 (UTC) Strong oppose. I don't want to have rules on when I have to speak. User:Cligra/Sig Strong oppose - I don't get how we'd quantify or enforce such a rule. Also, you'll find most mods in chat are just "idling" anyway, as in they are editing or doing something else and just have chat in the background, so wouldn't be there to start the conversation... Basicly, I appreciate the sentiment of the idea, but don't see how it would ever be feasible. ~ CJC 17:35, December 28, 2012 (UTC) Per CJC. User:Darth henry/Sig Per CJC and Cligra. (New users seem better at starting conversations anyway, it usually seems to be that no one replies.) Berrybrick 17:38, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
