As everyone must be aware by now, there have been a LOT of problems recently in our primary chatroom, Mos Eisley, culminating in the room being frozen and some of our most active users being temporarily suspended. Other people have already posted on meta about why this came about and what kind of behaviour needs to be addressed in order to stop it happening again. I'm not going to rehash those issues; this post is about how we can try to put it all behind us.

Mos Eisley has probably acquired a bad reputation across the network by now for its constant flags and fights. Assuming that such events aren't going to keep on happening in the future, it would be nice to distance ourselves from the past craziness, so that people don't think "oh, Mos Eisley - that's full of jerks" as soon as they see the room and need to be persuaded otherwise.

Getting to the point ... how about we rename the chatroom once it's reopened? Much better to have people come to the chatroom with no prejudices, and then by the time they realise it's the former Mos Eisley, they may already have realised we're an OK bunch :-)

_{And yes, I know this proposal has been made before with scant success, but there's a better reason for it now!}
