In my time in osu!, I have seen the number of people increase greatly, and sadly, with that the number of spammers grew too. The BATs are clearly tired of having to silence and kill everyone. To combat this tedious process...
Intrrrroducing:
The Chat Approval Team!
The CATs' work consists of monitoring peoples' behaviour on chat, and either approving or disapproving what they intend to say. It takes another huge load off the BATs' back, ensuring they can focus on getting the protobubbles bubbled/popped. It also gives the CATs a start to see what is acceptable in chat, and learning then how to act once they promote to BATs.
This is you. This is what you are creating.

i am gonna have to say no. i do not agree with giving people power. the BATs we have now is enough IMO. and in the absolute worst case, i would say if anyone should be next in line to get a tiny bit of power it should be 1 or max 2 trusted MATs.

I think this would be cool for #language channels which don't have a BAT member who actually knows that language (*cough*#spanish*cough*)...

The levels of satire in the OP are sufficient enough to kill a small stock of cattle.

This is dumb seriously, if there's a problem get connections to a BAT...Isn't that what people do anyways?

Edit: I rather get more #foreign users that are up for moderating some channels like getting a japanese user for #japanese.

#portuguese doesn't have a BAT that actually talks portuguese, and there are a lot of spammers and no BAT to silence... 0.5 support.

Same for #spanish, there's a lot of spammers but no BAT who talks spanish =(

Also I think it would maybe give BATs less things to keep an eye on... :<

Well we have members who moderate each specific language forum.

I don't see a huge problem with adding a few select members to have moderation rights for their respective language channels only.

Agreed. Some channels are just too awesome to moderate (Even though we still need an own forum -,-)

Giving some people ops @ #language chans might be a good idea..

I might disagree on it. However, most in the chat I see people didn't use the #language function.
So maybe moderation in #language is sufficient enough since some BATs don't speak that certain language.

I think it's save to say that #dutch is used al lot, maybe the most of all the #languages

#french is used quite a bit, and there are no moderators there.

Half-ops.

I got to read into that. But I think they can't do IP bans. Just kicks.

No one can talk for a while because just a spammer? That's a too extreme solution e_e

I've only seen peppy doing this on #osu channel, btw, and there were cases whith a lot of unrelated random things, extreme too xD

Bump, maybe? xD

Because BAT is modding #osu always, CAT is not something that should be implemented.

However, assign a few chat mods on each #language channel it's a good idea, because those areas aren't vigiled by BAT's.

Bumping...

Come on, this is a very serious problem :/

We really need channel specific moderators, specially for #language channels, it becomes impossible to talk when something like this is happening:

And yeah, we know there are BATs and we can call them and telling them the problem, but the main problem is that most of the times they need us to translate what they're saying, and in my honest opinion this is unnecesary.

So... please, listen to us, we need help u.u

Actually... almost everyday :/

There are times it becomes really annoying (like those all random moments on #osu or that chatlog) and there are times it's just someone who's just bored, but yeah, this happens so often unfortunately :(

I've been saving chatlogs of those kind of things so if you want I can post a few more here o.O

Some lines?! XD

You should see what sometimes happen on the channels. In fact, yesterday we have a big spam problem on #spanish. This is really serious. We need chat modders at least on all the channels but #osu and #lobby maybe, and who speak the corresponding languages.

I don't know what happens in another channels, but currently #spanish is the one that concerns me.

Big??? There are not words to describe what happened yesterday, even the spammers went to #skandinavian to continue with their spam.

I'll take that as critical.

Yes.

Countless times I have entered the spanish chat just to see what's happening, and there is spam all over the place.
Insults included.

Beuchi-chan can confirm this, she is there 24/7

I believe that assigning a moderator or two for every specific channel wouldn't hurt.

No need to create a particular team for this in my opinion.

Bancho does not support such behaviour, and I a lot would need to be changed to give such moderators limited permissions. I don't see this as a high priority. Call a BAT member if something bad is going on - there is 95% someone around.
