User blog:Kamikaze839/Trouble and Solution

So late last night, or rather VERY early this morning, there was an issue between two mods that was brought to my attention. I won't name names. The mods and admins should know who the involved parties are. I am remaining neutral on the situation, but the consequences of the outcome, no matter where the situation falls, will have lasting implications on chat. The situation also raises several issues that Preda and I discussed. The issues are: In any case, I would prefer if I stay neutral on this issue. Also, when commenting, comment only on the solutions proposed on what you think needs to be done. I ask that you do not mention the issues in chat mod conflict if it can be avoided, I don't want the situation to escalate. Also, only people who are active in chat should be commentng.
 * 1) We need a defined policy for what to do with users in PM. We can block unruly PMs sure, but in cases of harassment this needs to change. I would need suggestions on how to do this, if at all, since these will be tricky issues
 * 2) Out of wiki issues involving the Wiki's skype and the affiliated fanon. Normally Rule 11 says out of wiki issues in chat shouldn't be around, but because of how closely related these three groups are, I think we need to make an exception
 * 3) Terms of removing a chat mod. We need a formalized process. We need to determine the conditions basically, what constitutes being too inactive, abuse of power, etc.
 * 4) We need a dedicated Chat Admin. Nederz does a pretty good job, but he has to balance editing and monitoring chat. Grif focuses mainly on CSS/JS, Cy is inactive, and Mino when he becomes admin is going to be primarily edit admin. I think we need to round out this by adding a "Chatmin" as a Head Chat Mod, someone who makes the final calls on disciplinary actions in chat to both normal and modded users.
