My apologies for any confusion with my post.
I was trying to say, we have no issue with players coming into our games just to chat. We have a social game and welcome people to enter and enjoy the game as they see fit, even if that is just using the Chat.
All ideas are worth talking about with the team to weigh the pros and cons, to consider how they might effect the game (good or bad).
The Lounge (and Tavern Chats) are generally unmoderated places and designed for banter and trash talk. Players wanted a place where they could escape the confines of World Chat.
While I wish we could get involved with every comment or word that can be perceived as offensive, it opens too big of a door in terms of moderation as there are many phrases and words that to some would cross the line (but also not cross the line for others). Which defeats the purpose the Lounge in general.
To that end, we do have multiple chat options (such as group chats) so that players may curate their experience into something they enjoy best.
I do hope that helps clarify things. Again, my apologies for any confusion.
