Seems reasonable to me.

Everything listed here seems completely reasonable.

I just wish the rules were clearer. Someone I didn't know told me to die the other day and nothing at all happened. Then they said my body should live because it could be "useful" and I should just die in my soul. I haven't been in gc much since and I know other people who avoid it now who didn't used to. I don't really plan to chat there anymore because I'm so generally disturbed.
I don't envy your job but flaming has been random and rampant lately. Even outside of the language blocker. It's not the whole community, but it just feels like a more hostile place lately. I put a poll up when I started noticing this. I wish more people would have responded to make it mean more.
Not calling for a totalitarian state, but a lot of us love moderation in gc and love the ban hammer. Don't let haters get you down, Luna. In your job, everyone will never be happy. Just take it a step at a time and remember structure and codification are a moderator's greatest ally. I hope you don'tn find that condescending because it's not meant to be.

I am not suggesting this, but I would like to inquire if - with the development of a more sophisticated chat system - there might be a chat which will be open to any and all topics of conversation.
I feel it would help to take the load off the moderators (so there need only be moderators in Global), but then if someone wishes to engage another player in a discussion on politics, religion, or Edward vs. Jacob - then they would have the option to simply create a temp room to have their discussion without censorship and then be done with it.
/me is pro freedom of speech, but is also pro censorship of Global chat where players shouldn't be forced to engage in another player's idiocy (it should be optional). (:P)

This is the sort of thing that should get reported to me if I'm not there to see it as it's happening. No one should say something like that to you or anyone, as it is obviously crossing the line.

Player-created chat rooms (in the upcoming chat system) will do exactly what you describe. Someone can make a private room (the "lets debate loudly about politics while cursing" room, for example), invite whoever they want and it will not be actively moderated by any GMs. Then they can set their own standards of behavior and add/remove players as they see fit. The only participants in the room will be there voluntarily and will, by their presence, agree that "yes, I want to be in the lets debate loudly about politics while cursing room."
Only "official" channels (Global Chat) will be GM moderated, same as is now. And formal complaints about harassment, etc., that happen in player-created rooms would function the same as it would now if someone was sending you harassment via in-game mail.
As I said, no one will be more happy than me when the day comes where I can say "take it to private chat."

I have a feeling there will also be a related "I-need-to-cool-down-from-the-LDLAPWC-room" room.
