Re: small talk
Well yes, you will never be able to completely limit an unappropriate comment, however that is far outweighed by the potential to expand and explore answers/topics in a real time basis. This is something the current setup does not allow. This will lead to a more insightful & engaging discussion. Ways to help control would be to only allow members to participate, requiring a minimum forum post amount, maybe a $1-2 interview fee (to support CE) etc. Plus of course someone would have the ability to ban/delete a person's access to the chat. Plus a would think a engineering chat would be very low down an a prankster's or spammer's radar. Being private only wanted attendees would be allowed entrance via instant messenger or web meeting. Just my thoughts! In any case in any form, I am glad that this wonderful group allows me the opportunity to take part in small talk!
