I suggest something like the following be added to the chat rules.
Yesterday in chat 2 members were chatting about the UK health care program or something along that line. A member enters the lounge asking about building a battery charger. They ignore or fail to see the question. I pointed out (as a moderator) that we should help the guy. The opinion of one member was that the guy with the question was rude for interrupting.
For a long time Eric and I put electronics and related chat ahead of general **** chat in the lobby. With more moderators active in chat we need to make this official.
If we don't we risk having electronic questions ignored while members discuss their nasal drip.
"While you are free to discuss anything this chat room has a technical nature and technical chat has precedence over non technical chat in the lobby."
