=== Creating a new room ===
How you create a new room depends on your client ([https://element.io/help#rooms Element help]).
On creation, you can make the decision of whether or not your room should be publicly discoverable or use end-to-end ("E2E") encryption; for public rooms intended to involve community participation, we recommend *not* enabling E2E, as that enables new participants to see scrollback. A public room is one where anyone can join without an invite. I.e. the "''only people who have been invited''" option has not been enabled.
Any public room on the server should also invite the moderator account, and provide it the <code>admin</code> role. This will help you administer the room in compliance with the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/ CPG] and let site moderators support you in the process.
Providing access to the moderator account is a two step process:
# Issue the invitation: <code>/invite @moderator:mozilla.org</code>
# After <code>@moderator:mozilla.org</code> joins the room, grant them the admin role.
While the Moderator account with only "mod" privileges lets us protect channels against individual bad actors, it does not give that account the access needed to change channel-wide access control lists. You need to grant the Moderator "admin" privileges to be able to take advantage of the collective defense options Matrix provides.
