We have many teen members of the community, and the adult/teen rooms were created to give each their own space. This probably had more meaning when sex talk was more prevalent in chat.

Again, we can't be everywhere all the time. We have a small group of volunteer moderators who help out in the community. We rely on our members to help us in our efforts to keep the community a safe and supportive environment. You don't have to help out, but we of course appreciate it when members step up and report inappropriate behavior that violates our community guidelines.

And to be clear, we regularly take sanctions against community members who violate the guidelines while in chat. As with all administrative actions, these things are not announced or broadcast to others (shame should not be a part of helping a member learn to post or chat within the community guidelines), but they do happen.
