| Oct 10, 2022 at 21:45 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | @andrew.46 Ahh, that makes sense. Good to know! I probably would have asked for one of those when we were dealing with that plagiarism issue a few weeks back. I kept trying to keep things"vague" in AUGR to protect the privacy of the user. | |
| Oct 10, 2022 at 19:49 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | @NotTheDr01ds A private chat room is a Mod option and is used for moderation purposes. So either created as such by a Mod or converted to private if created by a user without that privilege. | |
| Oct 10, 2022 at 19:36 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | @andrew.46 I thought all chats were public other than a special one that only mods have access to (which I've always assumed is not on the SE chat infrastructure)? | |

| Oct 10, 2022 at 8:06 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | @Nmath Indeed, there is no place on Meta for naming particular users. For elected Mod attention there is a custom flag, as Muru has mentioned, or a private chat room; whichever is easiest... | |

| Oct 9, 2022 at 5:44 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | I think a lot of people downvote without ever reading the question or answer. | |
| Oct 9, 2022 at 2:54 | comment | added | Nmath | I think that any kind of issues calling out a particular user should be addressed with elected moderators instead of publicly on meta. That being said, I share at least your curiosity with these stats as at face value as the up/down vote ratio paired with the frequency of voting raises an eyebrow. But it's hard to pass a judgement on just this data alone. Elected mods can look at the whole profile and see if there's anything that stands out as inappropriate. I expect many of these deserve a principled, polite and non-condescending comment explaining the vote w/ suggestions to improve. | |
| Oct 8, 2022 at 23:53 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | Well, downvoting serves a very specific purpose: to indicate that a particular question or answer is not useful: askubuntu.com/help/privileges/vote-down However if downvoting is used inappropriately (targeted downvoting, spiteful downvoting, angry-person downvoting etc) there can be a need for Mod intervention. And the issue of ' derisory comments' should also be addressed: such comments have no place on AU. Btw your excellent post uses the term 'censor', I am wondering if you actually mean 'censure'? | |
