more clarification, mostly in third paragraph
|
| Jun 15, 2015 at 22:36 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @quid: I never shy away from an opportunity for off topic. Probably the most consistent negative feedback I get as a teacher (although, not entirely my fault; when I ask if everything is clear or are there any questions, and no one replies I tend to ask again, and then just to check if there are people in the class, ask if they have questions regarding some TV show or a movie or whisky related questions, and sometimes... we digress). | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 22:33 | comment | added | user9072 | @Asaf thanks for assuming your share of the responsibility :-) But then it was I that asked you first about onions and then about Hebrew. Anyway, at the end of the day I do not see a particular need for this room on MO either. However, the reasons for this (for which there are several, in part added by later edits) could have been presented in a non-dismissive way. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 21:54 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | I can corroborate your suspicions, that I had excellent feedback when it comes to the moderators email, and I think that the division of "flag, email, meta" is spot on. Probably better than "flag, chat, meta". | |

added some hopefully useful information
|
| Jun 15, 2015 at 15:10 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @quid: I guess this is partially my fault. But for what it's worth, there's a collective moderators email for MO which works perhaps even better in my eyes. I agree that sometimes it feels overly formal and detached, but I'd much rather have a list of emails of the MSE mods (which I sorta kinda have), and if I knew that I'd get a very quick response, I'd probably use that rather than the chat. So in this aspect there's really no need to have this chatroom for MO mods. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 14:05 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @quid I didn't say 'only' chit-chat, did I? What I saw, which perhaps was not representative of the room as a whole, is that there was plenty of chatter. I really prefer not to have to be involved with such a thing; besides, I don't think it fits well with our trying to have a somewhat more professionally minded forum here. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 13:14 | comment | added | user9072 | I agree that the way it was propose is not good. But if you read more of the transcript I think you might change your opinion that it is only chit-chat. (The recent days are not really representative.) The one on Mathematics is quite low volume and the sigbal-to-noise ratio not too bad (for a chat-room). | |

added another relevant objection

| Jun 15, 2015 at 11:27 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @ArthurFischer It's not quite a duplicate. The user had created a MO Mods' Office chat room and announced that as a fait accompli, saying "feel free to use it". If you or others still want to have that post undeleted, I suppose it could be done. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 5:29 | comment | added | user642796 | If this has already been requested and declined, maybe undelete the original request so people can point to it as a duplicate. (Might also prevent users from requesting it again.) | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 3:11 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | My cheesed-off reaction to this proposal is partly explained by this earlier post, for those who can see it: meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/2304/… | |
