This suggestion is to the moderation team, public and private, who need to task themselves with cleaning up the indigenous chats that are opened by the /chat function and upon login.

• I believe this is necessary due to the great number of children inhabiting these chats, most of whom are exposed them to unsuitable, offensive and corrupting conversational material.
• Not only this, but these chats are used by players who are labelled as Ban On Sight to engage in the same antics that got them their ill-fated position in the first place.
• Lastly, there is little to no moderation of this function during most hours of the day, up to and including peak hours for the heavily populated chat instances which needs to see improvement.

I have brought this up with moderators in the past number of weeks and those I have spoken to are in agreement that there needs to be some considerable improvement in the way these chats are moderated and the time dedicated to moderating them.

My proposal is that a team dedicated to the moderation of aforementioned chats be created. Be this from existing moderators, both public and private, or new recruits, I do not know. I would recommend recruiting new people who have both the time to dedicate and the effort to this task and that they be reviewed by a801 staff rather than the moderation team to avoid bias.

This would expand the horizons of the team, as well as introduce new members capable of tasking themselves with quite a mountainous job. The safety of the younger players of this game is paramount and it is our duty to dedicate as much work as we can to ensure that they are well and not exposed to that which they should not be.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you align with this suggestion.
