I think there's a couple of still unaddressed points from before.

If there's problems - what's the mitigations planned? There's a difference between moderating a single room and multiple rooms, and many of the problems might need a moderator. What happens if its a empty room, and someone starts posting smut (this happened yesterday on the lobby) or there's a semi organised attempt to troll (can't go into details, but if you're a CM, you either should know or could ask) - this also has happened in the lobby. Creating socks is also trivially easy.

Could we have a clearer answer on this first before pushing forward, or at least some awareness?

And while mods/ROs can handle things - SO has a total of ~20 mods and not all of them would be everywhere on chat. Maybe high rep users can handle some of the load. With the lobbies we managed to organise some communication ourselves via a mod/ro room. What's the mechanisms y'all have in mind for a serverwide equivalent?

The 'original' plan for the lobbies was to have staff assistance - and since there was apparently never the time nor resources to, mods and community ended up self organising. We don't have the critical mass for this (especially on SO with 'less' folks who have mod powers on chat). I'm not sure how good 'off' hours coverage on SO/chat would be either.

If we didn't get good support for 2 rooms through most of the original experiment, how're we to expect good or better support for this?

I still think that this should be a separate room type - and let rooms be set to that as an opt in. I also don't see a clear infrastructure for keeping this manageable for mods and higher rep users.
