Fair. Looking forward to at least a requirement, though.

Gotcha. So it all depends on the comment. Thanks Fizz!

I read this and understand why necroposting wouldn't be a thing on Pokebase. I had flagged that comment because it was on an almost 2 month old post and only contained the poster's personal opinion on Weavile, not adding much information. Such comments would count as "unnecessary necroposting" (if that's what its called), right? But if you think the comment is fine then that's the final decision!

And its nice to know flagging uninformative old comments is fine. I once flagged an old non-sensicle comment which got hidden but afterwards I felt like I was just disturbing the staff and never flagged such comments again.

Hey Fizz, I had flagged this comment yesterday -- doesn't this comment count as necroposting?

Should I not flag similar comments in the future?

Entry requirements + chatmods would better the current situation by a lot. I'm just hoping that they get the nod soon (or at least the former does).
The other issue was between Yuya and WhiteFire. This was brought up in the staff server once but wasn't really raised as a big issue, and it isn't too actually, but they can move their intimate conversations to wallposts. Their goodbyes are cringe too.
Hopping in the chat once or twice in alternate hours would work in the off-hours I guess. I'll try it too, but I'm pretty busy with school nowadays.

Alright, cool!

Does my flagging of posts ever become "too much," in that it clogs up the entire 'flagged posts' section in the Admin tab? Please notify me on my wall if that happens, as there is technically no way for me to keep record of the posts I've flagged. As not all answers can be selected at once, I wouldn't wanna clog up the section with just those answers waiting to be selected lol.

I was not specifically thinking about brand new staff roles to sort out the issue, mainly because of the reason you’ve already started, but it would work better than what’s going right now.
New staff can handle the issue but works that really be enough? We have ten active staff members right now, and of course sitting for five hours at a stretch in the chatroom would be really frustrating, especially in the ‘dead’ hours when one can get more productive work done. I’m not really very sure about what happens during the EST and similar time zones, but I guess Ty, Primal and J are active enough at that time? If they are then it’s a really great thing. About the opposite side of the world, when the chat room isn’t much active, I guess the chat can make do with staff popping up at hourly intervals (or maybe more? It really is inactive at that time.).
Someone once suggested that access to talking in the chat room be given to users who have crossed a certain point threshold, like a hundred (debatable) points and so on. It is a useful idea in my opinion and would work, I guess.
I’d also hazard to say that another issue is when the staff shares a, ah, ‘light’ moment, and I guess you know about it? I’ve never liked people screaming love quotes and the sort in the chat. It’s not mature. Wall posts are better, in my opinion.

I asked because of a certain incidence of bullying in the chat. When I saw a user feeling harassed after some other users made fun of their condition, I was angry and sad. It’s just NOT done. They’re a wonderful user, I’ve interacted with them a lot in the past, and I never felt their blindness being an issue in our conversations. It was a moronic act, even if done without the intention of making the user in question feel bad.
And of course, there’s the love talks between two wonderful users, one of which has a mature brother which I guess kept the staff from acting against his behalf. Very touching indeed. Not appropriate in my opinion. Wall posts, again, exist.

I was about to make a Meta post but refrained from doing so, I felt reaching out to a Mod would be better.  Let me know of any changes or anything if you can — I’ll be waiting eagerly for it. I’m also looking forward to making the chat a better place, hope it turns out to be smooth.
