Multiple main-chat channels

[limpid pawn]

Main-chat is usually unusable, Venting-1 is usually just an alternative main-chat and the mods keep getting called in to break that up. This would be better if we had a main chat that wasn’t as busy

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you are one of dozens of people to suggest that…. We have talked about it as staff A LOT and the consensus is we don’t wanna do it… venting 1 is chaos whether we making another general or not.. it just spirals conversation to conversation.. and it’s just part of our job to stick our head in there a couple times a day and put everyone back on track or warn people who won’t use the channel properly.. There is a counter argument that there’s 3 venting channels so if venting 1 is out of control with random ass conversations and you need to vent.. go to a different vent channel..

we feel with years of watching this server and its dynamics that adding another general will not remove the problem from venting 1 yet will just create yet another channel that needs to be moderated 24/7 ontop of our nearly 2 dozen channels already…

We love the suggestion and so many people have suggested it before but sadly the dynamic of the server and the way people kinda just go to a channel and sit there for a while no matter what their purpose is even if it’s venting and then turns into a general chat.. won’t change if we make another general…

So sorry.. thanks for the idea!!! I originally thought the same over a year ago!! but.. i’ve seen it going for a while now and experienced it.. another general won’t solve that problem lol

we are really understaffed, so i dont think we plan to add any new channels

[opal token]

staff is so stretched thin as it is, another general may just make the server out of control

we already had more chats before
