This! It has to be obvious to everyone who uses the chat rooms. The rules not respected, I think something more than 'please contact a moderator' is needed to solve this ongoing problem. It is a live(!) chat, the offender will offend other members without forewarnings and people will get hurt emotionally, it seems unfair for the rule abiding users who need to act like a patrolling police officers. Not everyone's smart enough to use the internet, we've known this for a long time that people tend to get this internet persona for some reasons, instructing chat users to act like they do in real life is not enough or practical solutions.

The adult room is for conversation that is neither emotional or health support, and may be more weighty or adult-oriented than appropriate for the Coffeehouse. We will take into consideration the suggestion it has outlived its purpose.

Thanks for considering the change. I believe most users are of an adult age, so chat users are not kids any more, and we have this rooms, secret rooms on the internet, where people use passwords and all these private devices to access the online chat rooms, and they go w00t!! Politicians send half-naked photos to their mistresses and these things are known facts, the common ideas, the common sense of people are already at the lowest standard, so to break the cycle of continuing cultural deterioration, something innovative has to happen.
We've all known the SafeSearch feature of Google, it's been around for quite some time, China gave a thums-up to the Google's porn filter, so if one wants to seriously protect the interest of a great culture, it can be done decisively.
Chat rooms, I don't frequent there. All the adult members converge at PC chat rooms. ADULT! Kids are happy with their toys, when that becomes an adult version, it becomes R rated. A couch is a couch, it could be used in a therapist office, or certain someone knows what happened on a couch of someone, once it's tainted with the idea of what goes on there, there's no going back. So the point is, even if admin side thinks all the chat rooms are to be used for what specified in the chat guidelines, all the chat rooms become an adult chat rooms to some extent, just like a drug fiend finding a room somewhere to shoot up his choice of drug.
People throw away non-biodegradable trash anywhere they please, and sometimes we need to put up a big sign to let the visitor/user know that it is not okay. And I believe this has an additional benefit to it. I've seen/read that some people seems to be working in a voluntary capacity to keep the predators away from chat rooms, self-appointed neighborhood watch type, we don't need another George Zimmerman on this planet, please consider about visible sign throughout the whole chat room, even if it's for temporarily measure.
