Townhall meeting this weekend!

That's how mentor chat works. We socialize in public and we use the mentor channel specifically to handle mentorhelps. We get grumped at if we use it for anything else.

A lot of socialization occurs in mentorchat as well - I've personally even experienced times of socialization where midway through we realized a particular person wasn't a mentor yet and couldn't participate. I've also not once, in all the times I have socialized in mentor channel, been grumped at or seen anybody get grumped at for doing non-mentorhelp-handling activities.

To clarify on this point we have been told explicitly that there is no issue with discussing whatever in mentorchat so long as it doesn’t break the rules. This was stated to us by Pope if I recall correctly when we briefly discussed an actual mentor chat channel separate from the help one
