Updates and Changes to Support Rooms
Hello Mods!
We're making a few changes today and tomorrow that you will need to be aware of. Please read carefully, and share with one another to ensure we're all in the loop.
Changes to General Support (Adult & Teens)
This room will be replaced with a Welcome & Support room. The primary focus here will be on new guests seeking support, though members are welcome to participate too. If you would like to help ensure this room achieves this goal, please sign up here to join the team.
Welcome & Support room will be the only public room and will require heavy moderation.
New (Hidden) Member Hangout Room (Adults Only)
This room will be called Member Hangout and will not appear to everyone in the chat room list. Again, members will need to comment on a forum post to earn the Hangout Key badge to access the room. (Will add that post here soon!)
The purpose of this space will be to redirect members who are currently detracting from the purpose of other rooms, in particular, General Support. It will be for lighthearted chat and to allow regular members to connect with one another.
Member Hangout is a hidden room and will not require heavy moderation. Please focus your efforts in the other support rooms to ensure members can give and receive support there.
Changes to Thinking Space (Adults Only)
Thinking Space is now linked to this forum post. Members must comment on the forum post in order to receive a TS Key badge, that will enable them to access Thinking Space.
The politics rules has now been updated to allow for religion & politics to be discussed in Thinking Space only.
Thank you for reading :)
@Heather so if someone is leading an edgy discussion, can the mods direct them to take this up in the hangout room?
@soulsings - Yup.
@Heather
Cool changes!
@Heather I think this would be some awesome changes to reduce the trolls and keep the chatrooms more supportive and relevant ^^
@Heather I love these ideas! Seems like a great compromise for everyone to maintain safe spaces but still have a bit more freedom on the site. :)
Sounds like a good idea, but we already have a member community room?
Where is the Thinking Space? I've never seen it, yet.
@beautifulGrace82 it was completley locked off to listeners unless mod it now has been unlocked but if you want access to post on the thread to get the ts key badge
love the changes!
I think these are super awesome ideas. Especially with how the hangout room can unclutter some of the chatter in other rooms and allow more space for those wishing to receive group help.
@Heather How much does 1 hidden room key cost?
Love the change,but where are the forums I should post in for access to member hangout room and thinking space.Hugs :)
