Sep 23, 2014 at 23:40 comment added Shog9 Good example, thanks @Jefromi.
Sep 23, 2014 at 22:10 comment added Cascabel @Shog9 An example from B&CG: boardgames.stackexchange.com/a/19056/409 - it was clear even at 10 comments or so that the discussion was going to go on, and didn't all need to be on the answer, and a mod decided it definitely needed cleaning up, but couldn't migrate it. (I'm not a mod there, just an observer.)
Aug 20, 2014 at 11:58 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' One point could use a bit of streamlining: after moving an extended discussion to chat, I deleted all the comments, then undeleted the automatically-posted comment containing a link to the chatroom. I think this delete-undelete action will be the most common cast, it would be nice to exclude the automatically-posted comment refering to the chatroom from the “delete all comments” tool.
Aug 14, 2014 at 20:02 comment added Raphael Also, being able to decide between "new chatroom" and "main site room" would be nice. Some general discussions could liven up otherwise silent chats.
Aug 14, 2014 at 19:35 comment added Raphael @Shog9 Done. But I really don't think it's about the numbers, it's about content. 30 comments that discuss the technicalities of an answer can be fine (until the answer is fixed) whereas meta or personal discussions with three comments should go to chat. I don't see where the problem is with letting mods always move (!) select comments to chat, and providing a new flag "does belong to chat" for users to use. We could even use "too chatty" for that.
Aug 14, 2014 at 18:47 comment added Shog9 Try a meta post on meta.cs with specific examples of conversations you'd like to be notified of / that you're unable to move, @Raphael.
Aug 14, 2014 at 18:44 comment added Raphael What are prerequisites and process to have the threshold lowered? My instinct is five; any post (on Computer Science) with five or more posts probably needs attention. (Is the concern that a lower threshold creates more flags? That may be a non-issue on most sites, plus it's probably better anyway to have a "Many Comments" review queue in which more users could have a look and flag away.)
Aug 14, 2014 at 18:07 comment added Mr. Alien Previous month I asked for this feature and its up, thanks ...
Aug 14, 2014 at 15:22 comment added mmyers @Doorknob: Obviously that's why they removed the comment rate limits for moderators. If there aren't enough comments yet... make it so.

Aug 14, 2014 at 13:48 comment added Doorknob Can there please be a way to do this from the "mod" menu on a post itself, not only from the flag queue? Just because there's less than 20 comments doesn't mean an extended discussion isn't clearly happening.
Aug 12, 2014 at 20:26 comment added Oded StaffMod @bluefeet - the comment will be attributed to the mod that pressed the button. The rep restriction will not apply, thanks to the explicit read/write permission.
Aug 12, 2014 at 20:25 comment added Madara's Ghost @bluefeet: "Clicking this buton will copy all current comments to a new chat room, with explicit read/write permissions to all comment authors." The explicit write permission means that a user can chat even if he hasn't 20 rep yet.
Aug 12, 2014 at 20:22 comment added Taryn Will the comment about the chatroom be associated with a mod, meaning that another user won't be able to delete the comment about the chat room? Does the 20 rep restriction still apply?
