Hello, folks and welcome beer.
Hello.
Can you hear me? Ok. Coming through loud and clear. Can you say the same for me?
Yep. Sounds good to me.
Good to hear. I'm gonna let folks trickle in for the first few minutes.
As usual, not the notification is going out.
Hello, UV. Welcome everyone else to the moderation. Office hours.
We do have some news and updates coming down the line for you today. But
as I said before, I'm gonna wait a couple of minutes,
let folks stabilize in terms of getting those
notifications and jumping into the channel before,
uh, we start with that.
Otherwise, I hope everyone's been having a fantastic weekend and week prior.
It's, uh, certainly become quite warm around here.
Is there anyone else in the broadly, uh, northeastern chunk of North America?
I, I imagine you might have engaged in the same exciting fourth or third winter
for at least a couple days where we got a whole
bunch of snow and then things abruptly became spring again.
Hope everyone got through that in one piece
dear. Have you been? Well,
uh, it's been pretty mild down here. A little bit of rain. Here and there.
Uh,
I'd say it's, uh, nothing that has kept me indoors regardless.
Good to hear.
It looks like things have kind of settled. So
I'm Canadian get,
I'm here with Veer and we're both going to be
fielding moderation office hours for the next 30 minutes.
We can ask us any old thing about, uh,
moderation, the guidelines, the mentor program.
Um, we'll be available for the next 30 minutes to field all those questions.
If you'd like to ask us those,
uh please head to the thread we put together in the office
hours questions form where you can find a thread titled moderation,
office hours with today's date to collect it.
We do have a couple of things we're going to pass in your direction today.
We want to get some feedback from the community on.
But of course, this session is still primarily for questions if you have questions,
put those questions in there and we'll make sure we get through them.
Other people are saying my mic is green but they cannot hear it. Hello?
I can hear you. So it's strange.
Some people can't hear me and some people can. That is
unique.
That's very strange. I am going to disconnect and reconnect one second folks
one more time. Can I get a check both first from you veer?
Yeah. No, you sound great. And then from the folks that couldn't hear me before.
Can anyone confirm if I'm coming through loud? And clear.
It's very difficult for me to provide answers.
If you can't hear me say words, there will be a recording at the end of all this.
If there's just technical issues going on, uh you can always poke that recording,
I should be recorded.
Or
if, if the little bars bouncing up over in the corner of the screen aren't lying to me.
I should be recorded just fine on that.
Uh
Fi Peach, I would recommend that you to disconnect and reconnect.
Seems like everyone else can hear. Get as well as me.
Apologies for the technical errors.
Discord can be weird sometime, but I don't know if I can troubleshoot this on the fly.
If half the people can hear me and half the people can't. That's a novel bug to me.
We will try and run that down after Aveer.
Could you,
could you please let the folks know that there is
a recording that I am being picked up by?
Uh Yeah, just uh for those who can't hear, get uh there is going to be a recording.
Uh We are going to have it uploaded afterwards
uh and uh the recording can hear him.
So uh presumably by the time that uh recording is uh put up, we're gonna hear.
Get on that recording.
Thank you very much for your
uh peach. Can you uh can you clarify? Can you hear, get currently?
And how about you f
Sam asked for us to keep just the same. And certainly
if you have any preferences for uh how we could refer to you,
I do like to give folks names so they know that I'm responding to them.
But if you have any requests in that regard, by all means, lead with them,
I will happily follow.
I'm only saying the name and in an effort to be polite, I will,
I will certainly adjust to maintain such
that said, we do have some feedback to bring to you folks.
There have been a couple of things coming down
the line uh on the writing board for moderation.
The first of them would be the steam content guidelines.
A few weeks ago, people noticed that we were starting to take
uh moderation action on steam content inside of our
steam page for resonate and there's been a repetitive request for
changes or clarification around the
wording uh concerning intolerance guideline.
We got a couple of drafts that we're gonna throw in
front of you today just for some feedback on that.
Of course, everything I'm presenting today should be viewed as a work in progress.
Uh We're bringing them to you because we want you to tell us if
they're terrible so that we can make adjustments to make them less terrible.
Please be very candid with your uh
feedback.
I'm just going to grab the,
I guess we'll start with the Intolerance guidelines
which has only seen a relatively small change.
I'm gonna be dropping this by the, by, in the, uh,
moderation office hours 2024 0407 thread.
Today's question thread.
So if you're looking for where that language is coming and that's the location.
So with bolded changes in the new section, uh, in my post there,
you can see we're doing relatively minor changes to this.
We just want to highlight where the, uh,
the sort of traits that we're looking for when it comes to intolerant content,
where they're coming from, what's gonna count
as the sort of traits we're going for just for folks listening purely through ear.
The old
uh guideline was hate or discrimination towards users based on age, gender,
sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs,
disability or other identifying traits was the line that we
had some questions about specifically whether other identifying traits,
how broad that was, what could loop into that
the new language has changed that to say or other immutable,
identifying traits of groups,
hoping to narrow the language down to
make sure that we're not identifying accidentally,
things like fandoms,
which typically we don't include as part of intolerant guidelines.
We're looking for things that are characteristics
of users in specifics that again,
as we,
the new language identifies is sort of immutable innate physical
characteristics of a person that can't change over time.
Sam suggests or asks immutable is aware that some
people may not be all too familiar with.
Have you considered using a slightly simpler synonym.
And I did,
we bounced back and forth on whether we're going to have a language that was
very precise or language that might be a little bit broader but less precise and
frankly, our, our interest right now was to try and get something very,
very precise.
And if people had questions, they could come bug me about that,
but they wouldn't be confused by it.
They could google it if they were uncertain what it meant and be able to
identify it but would never be confused because they weren't certain what we meant.
I,
I prefer for a person to be able to Google what a word means
and get a concrete answer for it rather than know what the word means.
But have it be broad and not know what I meant by it?
I'm still very interested to feedback, but that's,
that's the reasoning behind how I ended up where we're at.
Also. Uh Gareth has a question.
Uh This is a hypothetical, but I've been curious
uh if I make a world that explicitly disclaims, uh
any users caught breaking the rules in the session will
be launched out of a clown cannon for public spectacle.
And then someone breaks a rule.
Can I launch them out of a clown cannon
with no recourse or potential counter moderation issues?
So this is one of those things where generally speaking, uh
that's such a broad outcome that could be uh
identified by the person being launched out of the cannon
in various many ways. Uh
uh
problems basically uh that you are presenting them uh
that may in their mind break the guidelines.
We might end up having a uh a uh
a warning sent out to you or a message sent out to you in general.
Uh Depending on how you go about this.
Technically, yes, you could do this.
However, uh if the person uh like just is saying no, no, no,
don't do this to me or something, just kick them out of your world.
Just be safe. Essentially
a, a good way to think about.
This would be what if your little cannon system launched someone who had
a potato PC and because of the launching moved them pretty fast,
it just caused them to crash.
You now appear to have decided to crash them
as a response to them breaking your session guidelines.
That's the sort of thing that could very much end
up with a polite message from moderation or something more.
You generally want to avoid those sorts of scenarios.
E
there's just too many uh like scenarios where this could go wrong, horribly,
horribly wrong for the person involved.
Uh that uh we might still have a talk with you generally speaking,
if you really wanna moderate your sessions and you do want to do it.
So uh so
safely
uh use the tools provided by us.
Uh
Chanal
asks questions regarding the Planned Rules, dialogue.
Feature from the side of moderation. It was mentioned by
Gins in the discussion thread,
that moderation is able to change the age rating
and public visibility of a session or will be,
will the users or a host of the session be notified of such action?
Will this action be logged in case of a headless session slash host A FK
and will breaking rules and the rules dialogue. I we're gonna answer this one by one.
First and foremost,
I would like to get some sort of notification through to the host.
I'm not certain if that's showing up in the first draft,
but that is certainly part of a, a concern I will raise with Keynes and at least put
on
Hana's list of things that we would like to see fit in there.
As always, it's a game under development.
Sometimes like with the blocking system,
you might get a first draft of a new system coming down the line that doesn't
have everything in it
uh but could be improved over time.
So I'm not 100% certain what's arriving day one, but I can put that on their plate
uh alongside having it in the log. So it's very apparent what happened.
Now.
The second question is will breaking rules in the rules dialogue
look be looked at differently from the point of view of moderation
than a custom
rule, I assume.
And world implemented rules uh simple rules board after joining for example.
And no, if I understand the question,
ie both of those would have been rules put in
place by the host you're asking guests to do.
And if guests break those rules,
it's getting into the realm of harassment against the host,
both of them are something about moderation
would be willing to assist you with. If you have problems on platform,
the rules dialogue would certainly be once
it's in place our preferred mechanism to give
people for you to broadcast what your rules are when people come into your session.
Because I mean, that's the point of it.
It's meant to make that very easy, very visible.
Uh But both of them uh people breaking them would fall into the same category.
I
think the only distinction I could find there is
if you put a World Rules board and you like bury it in a shrub,
uh
Or at least someone shows us that during an appeal or
a response to a warning or message we sent out,
they, they give something another ticket that shows you had a rules board,
but it was very difficult to see and they weren't aware
of the rules that might change how we respond to them.
Uh Whereas the session dialogue box should
be so obvious that it's impossible to miss
while people are typing their questions. We uh missed
a
kind of a silly question. Favorite cereal.
I'm gonna say if I'm looking for something sweet cinnamon toast. Crunch.
I,
I eat very boring cereal but I rotate them consistently.
I like, I
like special k, I even liked cornflakes back in the day.
Oh, the special k, red berries, actually. Hm. I forgot about that one.
That one is one of my favorites.
I'm gonna probably say shreddies.
I
don't know if
I know how widespread shreddies are.
I don't think I've ever heard in America.
We have shredded wheat.
Oh, here we go. We got a question from whip.
Uh, the New Intolerance guideline would include identifying traits of groups.
What was meant with the, of groups.
Uh, it would exclude some traits like a theoretical disability,
only one person in the world has,
which would otherwise haven't, uh, been included in the guideline.
Uh, at that point, uh,
that's still like something coming down to
like along the lines of genetic information,
et cetera.
Uh
But, uh, of groups, it's, uh,
how can I put it,
um,
get you probably be better to, you know, suit for this one.
You're the one who, uh, included that new writing.
Generally speaking, we are looking to find identical cate
identifiable categories of people rather than specific
traits that would highlight a specific individual
in your specific example.
There you are talking about disability which is a broader
group of individuals that was covered by other language above.
Um But yes, we're looking to make sure that there's not just a, a
single person
being removed for a single,
per something associated with just that single person that we're, we're,
we're going to be treating under intolerance.
It could still run into issues with
harassment if you're targeting an individual user.
Um, but when it comes to intolerance guidelines, we're not looking to cover that,
that sort of targeted individual harassment,
but rather something that could apply to, again, identifiable groups.
It's kind of distinguishing where the guideline is going to be
used perhaps is the easiest way to think about it.
Harassment is going to be dealing with those one on one encounters. A lot of the time
uh intolerance is going to be relating
to actions, targeting
broader groups of people.
Also, Sam has a question since you, uh I, I'll let you, you know, answer that last one
question regarding rules in private versus public instances.
Users can impose their own rules per world for obvious reasons,
especially in worlds intended for games to be played and such
in a more social world.
Would it be ok to impose different rules in
a public and private instances of the world?
Uh Say, for example, if you have some areas that have doors in private instances,
but those doors slash rooms don't exist in public ones.
Could you imp impose specific rules for when users are within those rooms
uh to avoid getting too risque.
My implication here is involving rooms intended for adult meetups uh
that are locked behind some of uh some kind of subscription
such as a Patreon membership.
So like
how can I put it as far as uh rules go?
Uh I think we're mostly speaking about sessions
necessarily more so than ru uh world rules.
Uh You can impose world rules but uh we typically do a uh
state to you that uh if you want to enforce those world rules, uh probably, you know,
ban people who are breaking those world rules from accessing those worlds.
You can do so in the
contacts menu.
Um So OK, session rules.
Uh yeah,
you can have different session rules for different sessions uh
for different areas of the world that you're in.
Uh you can change the uh the rules minute by minute, second by second,
if you wanted to,
uh I will state uh it probably will lead to some confusion if you do so.
Um
But uh yeah, no, you are free to change those rules as you see fit
and I think what Vera notes there is perhaps the most salient bit of it at the end.
Uh If you make, you're,
you're allowed to make rules as complex as you would
like and change them as often as you would like.
But if people are deeply confused by them and then you come
to us moderation to enforce the fact that people failed to follow,
follow very confusing rules.
You are changing every other minute.
Uh We're probably gonna be pretty light
in how we respond to it.
But yeah, you're certainly allowed to try and draft that degree of complexity. Uh
I just encourage you to make sure it's clear to people who are coming in,
if you want them to follow it,
they did ask a follow up,
would it be ok to provide sort of guideline that abides by the T OS?
That is a basic set that people can change as they see fit.
Uh Yes, we already do with the board that we
dropped into to new s essentials, which is some pretty
uh broad. Try not to be, you know, the old and golden rule of the internet.
Try not to be a dick
that sort of uh rules that have been put on the board.
We're likely to prepopulate the session rules,
dialogue box with something broadly similar to that
and then let people build on top of it though.
They are going to be very, very simple rules, sort of uh not addressing the degree of
sorry wh uh corrected, resonate essentials.
Uh Those are sort of things that we're not likely to see.
Not likely to be the same as the more complex roles you were discussing there.
We did miss a person there. We have a shiner
asking uh regarding the mentor program.
Are there any plans to make it more apparent to new users in some way,
a
mention of the mentors in the tutorial, for example, and any way,
any easier way for users to locate a mentor if they wish to do so.
Uh uh
There are definitely a few ways that we're uh planning on uh making
the mentor program a little bit more visible to uh new users.
Uh We're still tossing around the idea uh for actually
just making a mentor role in the main resonate discord.
Uh that would certainly uh escalate uh visibility.
Uh
And uh as far as uh adding them to the tutorial,
uh I believe that uh isn't there a mentor
uh icon button on the uh
I believe it's in the tutorial world dashboard. Um
Thing once you walk through the the front door,
if that wasn't apparent though,
the idea of making it more salient is certainly something we
can pass on to the content team at the next meeting.
Uh Zagorec
asks World Rules need to be an audio, not just text question.
Could moderation reinforce using the block slash mutual
block in such tools before writing tickets.
For example, someone did something you think is bad, unwanted, et cetera.
Use the block tools before escalating unless the person uses external tools
to keep harassing you slash them.
Yes and no moderation is always going to respond by trying
to highlight to the tools that are available to users.
But a firm stance of moderation is you can come
have a conversation with us whenever you feel uncomfortable while that
doesn't get at the same goal of getting people to
make use of the on session tools as much as,
as we'd like.
Because we always want people, we always want to encourage people to use them.
We never
want people to feel they have to go through a multi
step process, jump through several hoops before they're allowed to come to us.
We're always willing to open that conversation even
if the result of that conversation is just
sending out a couple of reminders and encouraging
the user to make use of those tools.
We're very happy to talk with people and because of that,
no, we're probably not going to emphasize any sort of step by step process.
Yeah.
Um I also just to add in uh the world rules need to be an audio, not just text.
Uh It sounds like a great idea. I would definitely recommend making a github
on that topic.
Um
And uh let's see here,
Sam has another question, a bit more of a meta question.
Would there be any kind of plans to make the implementation of importing
certain assets from Neos or other games easier for the end user?
Like to some extent, importing avatars from BRC, for example,
since doing so would be a fair bit more difficult,
especially for someone who's quite new to resonate and doesn't understand proto
flux or how to join other sessions.
So I'm gonna make it uh just a little bit clear here.
Uh We are not technical uh members of the staff uh
like we don't work with any of the development code.
Uh And uh so that kind of question might be a
little bit out of our reach uh to answer for you,
uh in
this particular case, uh Like, sure, like that sounds cool.
Uh You know, maybe we'd talk with the team about it here and there.
I know that this,
uh this conversation's possibly come up a couple of times here and there too.
But uh I'd recommend bringing that question
probably to probable primes uh office hours.
And of course, as is always a possibility uh bring it over to the
github.
We currently do have a migration feature if you're ever looking
for new features to add to that or anything else.
Uh github,
github
is the best place you can go to try and a see
if there's another issue that's already talking about that sort of thing where
you can add your input if you want to add on to
it in ways the github issue hasn't quite covered or just upvote.
If it's something that you think is
uh
good and should be worked on at a higher priority, we can see of course,
track how people are engaging with those issues and help to a
degree prioritize what gets worked on next by virtue of that.
All right,
I am going to drop the text for the steam guidelines as questions concerning the
tolerance guidelines appear to have slowed down.
Sam clarifies that there are,
they weren't aware exactly what the qualifications are
just in case anyone else isn't certain,
me and veer were part of the moderation team
and we work in the business team more broadly.
But when it comes to things you can ask us, we know the best.
It tends to be moderation, the mentor program, the guidelines more broadly,
things coming down the line relating to that feature set,
at least that's what we're gonna be talking about most often here.
Uh We do try and answer every question you can ask
and we're gonna give you the best answer we can, but just like what happened,
we will occasionally point you in the direction of a better resource.
So I always encourage you ask that question, ask whatever is on your mind.
Uh The worst, you're just gonna get us drugging,
saying sorry and hopefully pointing you where you can get a really good answer.
So I am dropping another lot of text inside
of the moderation office hours thread for today.
This is relating to content posted to the Steam Hub, screenshots for instance, one
uploads in that area. There is both a section here.
This is going to be put in a pinned comment on
the discussion page inside of the Steam uh community hub,
so we can
get some publicity there. And of course,
uh it'll be as a separate section on side of our, our broader
guidelines page that you'll be able to find on the resonate website.
This is just as with the previous block of text and early first draft,
I want to see people's impressions.
Please be very critical. You're never going to offend us
the language here you can see is essentially just reinforcing
guidelines that are already very clear inside of the guide,
a broader guideline document
and then including one additional caveat for a slightly
higher standard of content that we might take down.
Uh borrowing some language that you've seen fairly common in other spaces online.
There's a reason why we follow this
up with two additional sentences below highlighting
that this is not going to be a problem for one's broader resonate account.
If you happen to get some screenshot flagged on Steam.
Steam is a very public facing part of resonate.
It's essentially in some ways our advertising board to
the rest of Steam and the world more broadly.
And so we are adopting, what is a standard,
a standard there that might be higher than we
would be comfortable adopting inside resonate and accordingly,
we're not, we're gonna make sure that any actions taken on Steam aren't reflected
inside of resonate for your accounts there.
I know I'm essentially just saying the words inside of that block of
text worse off the top of my head as I say these things,
but I'd encourage you
to take a read through the Steam Content guidelines.
Also, Zagorec
had a question uh though uh Whip did a good
job pretty much answering uh a significant part of it.
Is there a way to not have camera snaps auto upload to steam? I'm not entirely sure.
Uh However, uh even though they do go to steam,
uh you would have to upload them from Steam uh to a Steam community page
uh for them to be visible to anyone else. But you, as far as I'm aware,
Sam asks a bit of more of a silly one.
So no need to actually answer what are get and
veer's favorite foods and why do they like them?
If they can put it into words,
you would you like to start?
I mean,
my favorite types of food typically like shifts
around quite a bit depending on my mood.
Uh Lately I've been enjoying Mediterranean style foods just
because how they uh they make me feel.
Yeah, they actually give me a lot of energy.
Uh and uh I can go on my walks and they feel better. Uh when I do so,
I'm going to say I fall into two broad categories.
I enjoy breakfast food. Every, every moment of the day.
I would probably just die eating scrambled eggs and sausages if I was allowed.
But like the hardwood explode. It's just too much
outside of that Tex Mex, which uh shows up around here.
A bunch of fajitas are very, very tasty. I very much enjoy them
actually. OK. So Sam's uh saying specifically my top favorite like of all time.
I, I echo that sentiment if I could just eat breakfast food
all day. And I don't mean the sweet kind. I, I mean, like
give me like your best breakfast burrito.
That probably is my absolute top favorite food filled with the most eggs, sausage,
bacon cheese,
uh, various sauces, et cetera. Yeah,
I've just made myself hungry. Thank you.
It happens to the best of us.
We do have some feedback coming in on the
guidelines that I'd like to direct attention to.
Sam says, I think this might be a solely American thing.
So I do apologize if it is a bit misguided.
But if something is meant to be artistic
and doesn't display anything erected in any way,
could that be considered?
Ok, in the grand scheme of things
and if it's purely meant to be artistic and
doesn't appear like it's going to run across that,
that sexual gratification additional guideline
would say, feel free to still make the post.
There is simply the possibility that we might come to a
different conclusion than you and flag it and pull it down.
If that happens, it just disappears from the community hub.
You, if you see posts disappearing in that way,
I would probably encourage you not to continue to make those posts eventually,
it would be a problem.
But in the short term,
it shouldn't have any sort of reflection upon
your resonate account or Steam account more proudly.
Of course, I understand
an element of this is more subjective
and that's part of why we made sure,
and we're making sure in the language we write for ourselves,
the rules we're setting for ourselves that this sort of action doesn't fall back
on your resonate account in any capacity
unless you're doing something really egregious that breaks
the resonate usage guidelines.
If, if you put hateful content up there, then we'll,
we'll have problems and we will take more serious action.
But if it falls into this broad area,
no, we're not going to be going after your account in any capacity.
Uh So there is a follow up about uh what head whip had said.
Uh If there is any genitalia uh in any of the pictures uploaded to Steam Community,
uh those are against Steam Community guidelines. So, no, we'd have to take them down
and ours broadly, we do have adult content.
It's one of the things that we are going to remove from
the Steam platform and that could have an impact on your account.
Uh If you bring adult content even including through screenshots to Steam Page,
just like bringing it out in the public world inside of resonate you,
you could run into, well, you will run into issues from us.
We'll take that down and that could reflect on your account.
I know people are also possibly talking about
things like the statue of David and whatnot.
It's like
Oh
God,
that's one of those things that's like it feels kind of silly to have to moderate,
but we're not getting in a slap fight with steam over that though. So,
uh we do have a question from Quan. Well, actually I'm skipping ahead a little bit,
uh where to learn more about the mentor program and its current status.
Uh So currently we are going through our roster, uh right now of uh,
basically backed up trainees
uh and uh once that is completed,
uh and we're done training the backup trainees and
trainers that are uh wishing to become trainers,
uh We're gonna be reopening applications
uh to join the mentor program.
I have, I have a feeling that's actually very,
very soon if not already completed.
Uh So just keep an eye out,
uh we'll probably be announcing it during one of the office hours.
Uh Quantum asks a technical question.
Uh Quantum, I'm gonna go ahead and redirect you to uh probable prime.
Uh And uh having like joining one of his office hours
uh where he goes over various uh technical questions regarding the platform.
This one's a little bit out of our scope
still again, always do appreciate those questions. Always feel free to ask them.
We will just push you onwards if there's a better source for an answer.
Zagorec says we need a clarification on what public is considered.
There's lots of different ways to lock down worlds and yes, exactly.
What we try to do is highlight uh as clearly as humanly possible,
what is necessary for adult content to exist.
So, rather than clearly defining public, we clearly define what
uh adult content needs to exist in and everything else is
considered public to make sure that criteria is 100% clear.
And it's the stuff we've listed directly in the guidelines.
The world needs to not be publicly visible ie hidden or private.
Everyone present needs to be 18 years of age or older
and everyone present needs to have consented to see the content.
If your session does not meet those three
criteria.
It is not good for adult content and it is what I'm going to treat as a public session.
Also. Uh, Zagorec,
uh, made a statement maybe a, an under 18 and over 18 icon, uh, since we allow 16 in.
So, no, we're not gonna put a, uh, a target over the heads of, uh,
people under the age of 18 for, uh, predators to utilize.
Uh, that's been a common thing that has come up a couple of times here and there.
But, uh, that's the reason why we do know that we will not do that, uh,
because we'd literally be putting targets on people's heads for that.
And, uh,
we'd be putting people in danger for that. That's not a, not a thing that we wish to do
as with a lot of things inside of moderation. There is a bit of push and pull.
Like we do understand how useful it could be to some folks.
And certainly, well, meaning members of the committee would only find it useful.
It's just we do have to be conscious of the impact
the game I like to play is what's the worst
that can happen whenever we bring up feature ideas,
especially in regards to moderation.
Uh And uh
you know,
sometimes it takes us down dark paths but uh it's
uh usually helps us come to very helpful conclusions that,
hey,
some features might not be very good and uh you know, not be a,
a great idea to implement,
to put a little bit more light on it.
Uh For the, the what counts as public or doesn't count as public.
Second has put the uh adult content
and matrix from the wiki on there.
I always, I,
I go back and forth on whether showing someone this just makes
them more confused or more enlightened than giving those three criteria,
but it is valuable or can be valuable, feel free to dig through there.
Uh If you'd like to have a,
a reference for whether your session is likely to work or not.
I do worry though they go to that page and they might have a session they want
to use and some of them just have like maybe in an asterisk next to it.
There's further clarification down below the page is well written.
People put work into this, but I do worry,
they will be confused at times
with a quick glance perhaps and, and not very thorough read of the page.
Indeed. Also we are four minutes past now. Uh our ending of uh
the typical office hours uh timeline here.
Uh So I see Quantum's typing, we're gonna go ahead and let Quantum finish typing.
If it's a question, we'll answer it.
Uh If it's not, then we'll go ahead and conclude today's office hours.
Uh Quantum says, write their hard permissions,
uh whatever they may do uh with the history and
Vera chat, just
spreadex whatever else, tools there is crashing will still be very common.
Um We do believe that uh the hard permission systems
would probably do a pretty decent job in locking down
uh either crashing or other various things. But uh you know, just
as I've echoed uh previously,
that's definitely a great thing uh to bring up with probable prime.
I'm sure he'd have a very in depth explanation
on how that system would and would not work
to an extent there is as we always highlight in resonate
an understanding that we're going to let people be
able to do things that if used in appropriately,
could break the guidelines, could be a problem.
Uh
Zagros
has freedom to create costs and yeah, at the most basic level,
we want you to be able to make a gun that deletes someone else inside of the session.
So you can make a
game where you run around having little fps inside of uh resonate.
That's a cool game idea. You're welcome to make those.
But you could take that tool outside of that game setting and harass a session,
this skills right up to crashing or any number
of other things where we're going to try and
give you the tools and then we're going to
try and provide you with additional abilities to,
to
curate your experience on resonate to make sure that that's not misused.
If you see people deleting people with a random gun in a session unrelated to a game,
you can both have tools yourself to deal with that when it comes to blocking,
kicking, banning people in session tools.
You have moderation here to reach out if those things are insufficient.
Indeed.
All right, folks, uh,
I'm gonna go ahead and conclude today's office hour since we're six minutes over.
Uh, and, uh, we'll be here at the same time, same place
next Sunday. Uh
I'm assuming there's no holidays next Sunday.
I keep saying that when there's a holiday
but, uh, I think we're good.
I do believe so. I will be here next Sunday.
Yeah.
All right, folks catch you guys later and have a wonderful week.
Have a good one till next time.
Bye bye.
