| Dec 15, 2017 at 8:06 | comment | added | Federico Mod | ah, I had an extra look at the "deleted chat" thing: only chats with less than 15 messages can get deleted (i.e. those created when 2 people are chatting by themselves), a chat created by a mod moving 20+ comments does not get deleted chat.stackexchange.com/faq#retention The one you linked has only 8 messages, so it gets deleted automatically. | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | Federico Mod | no problem. Even if it was criticism, it's good to have it, it keeps everyone sane. | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 13:29 | comment | added | reirab | @Federico Good to know. I wasn't intending that as a criticism of current moderation, by the way, just stating what I'd personally do with them in that case. :) | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 11:31 | comment | added | Federico Mod | "comments on a given post can only be moved to chat by a mod once" that's correct. "I'd recommend rejecting the flags" we reject already lots of flags, particularly on "funny comments". | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 11:19 | comment | added | Federico Mod | For the "deleted chat" problem, there is a simple solution. If you are interested in reading the deleted chat, simply flag the original post with a custom mod flag asking for the un-deletion of the chat. I have just done it with the one you mentioned in this post. | |
| Dec 13, 2017 at 2:16 | comment | added | Koyovis | You've stated very well that good judgement should be used. The first link in OP is to an old discussion on Meta on exactly this topic. The result of that discussion also seems to be that good judgement should be used. But now people are advocating that everything over 20 should be flushed, because it is flagged. It's flagged for attention for applying good judgement, not for automatic flushing. The site could do that automatically, without a mod intervention. | |
