You are perfectly within your rights to criticize a moderator in PMs or to another moderator, and if a group of people wish to talk to each other, they can make a Chatzy room or find another isolated, empty chat. Why can't we just do it on THIS chat? The mods should be able to handle some constructive criticism. We explained how PMs don't always work. You was there when we were ALL discussing this and didn't say a word. Why? From what I saw, everyone was agreeing that this will help.

The point is critical remarks in the main chat are causing too much drama and arguments and it drives off new users. All issues of this mature need to be discussed as much as you like in private or in a seperate arena. The main chat is not the place for arguments. I didn't really want to, because I was worried I would be ganged up on, since like you said, everyone seemed to agree.

As I said, this passive stuff of gossip causes even more drama because people don't know what is ture and what's not, this stuff isn't going to go away, even if we take it off the main chat. It's something we need to deal with.
