User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/New Community Central Chat Guidelines Announced/@comment-31863794-20170506205105

I, for one, don't think this rule is an improvement. I know I have only been here since early March and certain users will for hate me for saying this, but we don't have a chat problem and these rules are not going to help it. We have a mod problem. It is rare to see a mod on all day long (I understand y'all have lives thoguh,) and we need more mods. Trolls and spammers lay waste to CC chat while the mods are gone and always have to go be tracked down on Discord and asked to come to CC. We need more mods here. I, for one, can think of several users who would make great mods, like Qstiljku. Also, the mods often want to ban the wrong people. There are so many users who disturb chat by mocking emos and suicide and other serious topics and the mods are often just fine with it, but only get upset and mad at the people who are dating emos get upset. The mods get angry over the wrong things. So, no. Banning chat from CC 'Chat" isn't going to help it at all. We don't have a chat problem, we have a mod problem.
