also I think the idea of an uninformed spec is
really weird?

I can get behind that

#383

Barring champs I agree

#384

Always public spec chat is fine cuz spectators could discuss outside of the thread as well.
Mafia chat is potentially private because the players have not the choice of talking outside the scumchat (game-related).

#385

I think the number of hosts who would care if you dm a scummate about something personal is almost 0

#386

in all honesty, if spec chats are forcedly going to become public, players might (and I might) just start making unofficial DMs that also discuss the game. Nobody would sub still but forced publicity in a non-game-related thread is, imo, not the best policy.

And if there is a no uninformed Spec chat, they might as well stay around as potential back ups

#388

Okay fair
Sometimes spec chat was completely pointless cuz almost noone talked ever.
I see no reason to publicize that lul

we have backups as a way to be part of the game without actually being a part of it

What are you afraid of

If gossip is that important to you then honestly thatā€™s something you need to look at fixing

Like this is very simple

Either

  • Follow along on your own with potential to be a backup

  • Join a spec chat that will be made public

Easy option, you can choose which matters more to you

Often times even entirely game-related critique of someoneā€™s play can be unintentionally heated if some of the things they are doing is bad.

I see no reason for politeness and having to be like ā€œx is being kind of not very nice!ā€ vs. ā€œx is being a major douchebag seriously how can they be this immature itā€™s clearly hurting everyone elseā€

redaction period fixes this so i can get behind that idea 100% but forced non-redaction publicity is not a healthy environment for spec chats because a lot of the appeal is that you donā€™t have to watch what you say becuase itā€™s a private chat with no bearing on the game
