so this may not be a good idea, but I think that a chatroom would be interesting when you have a question that's not worth writing a thread about but you just want to ask it to some people already chatting. it would also be a cool lounge room kinda thing where you could just relax and talk. I dunno maybe maybe not, tell me what you think.

Once upon a time, I believe some Dakka users had an unaffiliated IRC channel.

If moderation is an issue, you could A) say it's unmoderated and that discretion is advised, or B) direct some staff to be specifically for the chat.

Moderating a live chat would no doubt be seen as a tour in hell, worse than trawling off-topic.

I have no clue how Dakka's moderation work. I expect it involves throwing a lot of d100 and looking at many random tables.

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all.
