Only thing I'd be curious about is the management of opening times and closing times, like who'd do that. Maybe it could run as a scheduled task on the server, I dunno the platform that's used as server software so dunno if thats possible.

I think in terms of moderation, worry is swearing I think but if you had a 16+ room for users who were older and more mature, wouldn't necessarily need that. The other thing is that you wouldn't want the current forum moderators to be moderating TS (unless they ask for it). It's a bigger workload for a job which is already pretty hard from what I can gather.

I think the route to go down in terms of moderation management would be assigned individuals including anybody in the moderation department, anybody in a managerial role of any other active member of the forum who would be deemed as an appropriate safe guard for the communication within the teamspeak server. By that I mean no set group of people (not all managers or not all moderators) but people who are suitable. It doesn't need to be a staff position either to be honest if a trusted member is regularly using the server then let them moderate it. The worst that can happen is that they kick / ban someone if the power gets to their head

I'm not saying forum moderators shouldn't! I just think it should be optional for them to want to, but again it comes down to the rules set and whether they are too ridiculous to enforce or not.

Also to mention, you can create multiple "rooms" in a Teamspeak server as well as passworded rooms and rooms only certain people can access. Makes it good for the staff I think.

Do people who want to speak to each other not already do so

Would it cost much to just trial it?
see what issues arise and whether it is worth continuing it.

Good idea, I'd use it

I would say there's no harm in trialing it whatsoever, really. It seems the majority of the people are for it in here, so why not? It'd be a nice big group chat which you can leave and join whenever you without having to ask someone to 'add you into the conversation'.

The obviously, private conversations (or anything of the sort) can still be held on Skype, etc. so it can't be too bad.
