Blue's idea was a suggestion that I gave over two years ago. Check my userblog "Suggestions."

As for activity, I have already placed myself on leave. Despite this, I have found time to get on chat. I also support the observation that the mods are too lenient. I have been in situations where I feel compelled to kick or ban someone but hold off due to other buros/admins in chat doing nothing. I'm tempted to call this bias, due to regular users being friends with them, but I just assume they are busy. It no longer feels safe to adjudicate alone because users threaten to pit administration against each other when opinions clash. The lines between "too much" and joking have blurred and are nigh indistinguishable, and it seems that some users have abused it to great extent. When an admin overrules another mod's decision to kick or ban a user, some find the nerve to berate said mod and ridicule and disrespect them, doing things out of spite while being protected by the statement "this buro/admin said it was okay." I digress, but this is an issue to me. The lack of respect for the administration team in general is very discouraging, and makes chat a place of resentment and bitterness sometimes.
