This post: another step in a rapidly snowballing trend. I like it.

Personally, I'd be happy with your suggestions; things like performative asterisks (or whatever you call it when you go like "*puts the thing in the place* *sighs*") are a fairly ordinary element of chatroom lingo, and should be tolerated within reason.

However, two things. One: most mods already do that. Two: I mentioned a trend earlier. That would be the trend away from flat, zero-tolerance moderation, and towards more of a case-by-case thing depending on what the mod feels is disrupting chat. This is nice, but it also has the potential to put more stress on the mods because they have to pay constant attention and carefully evaluate potential transgressions, which is a pain in the ass.

Honestly, for the time being, I'm happy enough to have the freedoms we do now. Don't wanna make your job too burdensome now.

Ultimately, would it save work or create more? I think that's the factor on which I'd base my decision.
