Regarding the chatroom

But it's no threat - Iago doesn't have the time to pattycake with people who want to push the envelope of social non-jackassery (which is why he towed Touchy Topics out to sea and scuttled it over the Laurentian Abyss), and he's already stated that abuse of the less-controlled chatroom, if not reined in, will meet an equally watery end of the chatroom.
Folks, the chatroom was intended to give people an immediacy in their friendly banter, not to give the self-appointed rebels a sekrit smoking room. The mods are hearing more and more about people stepping over the line there, and that's not the route to Happyiagoville. We LIKE Happy Iago. So if the level of inappropriate behavior in the chatroom reaches unacceptability, we've got the shaped charges ready to go.
Let's pull it together and get with the program, people. Bad behavior there will not only earn just as much of a vacation as on the regular boards, it will get the room dragged out back of the shed and Old-Yellered.

Frankly, we'd rather just drop the hammer on a problem then let that problem kill the chatroom for everyone. Think of it as though you're at a friends house, and some drunk gets up on the coffee table and whips it out, preparing to pee on the playtendo box. We'd rather get the problem maker out than end the party.
If you're in the chatroom, don't say anything you wouldn't say without one of us standing behind you slapping a monkeywrench into our hand. We do not want to go all George Orwell and start keeping logs of every post in chat, nor do we want to babysit, we don't want to be bossy bossy boss man. But we have to keep chat friendly, safe, and fun. So if somebody goes to politics or is just acting nasty and trying to pick a fight, please tell us. You can PM any of the mods, if we're online (and not at work) we'll be on it like ugly on an ape.
If chat keeps smelling south of cheese, it'll get lopped off and we don't want that.
Shecky:
'Zackly. Which is why we'd prefer to get problem individuals fixed up pronto, so it doesn't GET to DEFCON X.
hatshep2:
Don't worry, I totally agree with you guys. This place just wouldn't we the same if everybody got to run their mouths about everything. Only the fun and harmless stuff. I just love your wording...firm but funny. ;)
Enjorous:
Wait I thought the chat room was going to be driven out to vegas, shot in the back of the head, and dumped into the foundation of a new hotel if it got bad.
??? I'm all confused now.
