For example the rooms created from a post are ownerless.
How does one become the owner of such a room, or any other room that has no owner?

Then who is the owner? Who can move anything anywhere? Or change the title of the chat room?– qwertynlCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 21:22

Moderators can do anything, can't they? Even if the option isn't there, I think the system will allow the AJAX call to add a new owner from a moderator. Obviously I can't find out for you.– DJSpudCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 21:43

Method A
- Talk a lot in said room.
- Wait.
- Automatically get added as an owner, since no more owners are active.
Method B
- Find a user who has a diamond beside their name. If you're in chat, look for a blue nametag.
- Ask them to add you.
- If you are not a room owner and you are not banned for annoying the mods and you want to take the risk of being banned for annoying another mod, go to step 1.
Method C
- Become elected to community moderator OR get hired at Stack Exchange.
- Add yourself.

But certain rooms have no owners whatsoever. It is not a case of an owner being non-active.– qwertynlCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 21:47

But of course if no owners are, then no owners are active. It has nothing to do with inactive owners. Commented Dec 11, 2013 at 21:49

@Servy I added an additional break condition that should be satisfactory. Commented Dec 11, 2013 at 21:53
