1. Using a dupe hammer to close as question as a duplicate and using it again to reopen when the user explained how it wasn't actually a duplicate.

2. Casting an incorrect spam flag when seeing a report in the Charcoal HQ chat room. When I was told by other room participants that my flag was incorrect I retracted the flag (this is a new feature - flags can now be retracted if they haven't been actioned).

10. Across the network several teams are working on, or have already deployed, automated tools (bots if you like) to assist in flagging posts for SPAM, Not an answer or plagiarism. Can you elaborate on how you expect these tools/bots influence your moderation?

I believe the Be Nice takes precedence over great content. If the particular user chooses to ignore warning and suspensions then it clear they don't want to change their behaviour. Abusive behaviour will drive away new users to the site, and there are always other people who can answer questions.

• Make sure Be Nice is observed.

• Take into account the room culture (for Root Access that would not be an issue as I've been a room owner for some time and I know the culture). For other rooms I would have to catch up on the culture. Of course, Be Nice must be observed regardless of the room culture.

• I like to be "light handed". Moderation should mostly be invisible in a chat room. I'm lucky in that I've had Journeyman Geek to learn from.
